Higgins famously did a one-on-one interview with Wilkinson, which broke the story. I saw that Lisa Wilkinson and The Project won a Logie for the Brittany Higgins interview.

“It could be put, you should put out of your mind everything you think you know about this case,” Drumgold told the court. “What concerns me most about this recent round is the distinction between an allegation and a finding of guilt has been obliterated,” the judge said. The trial is scheduled to start on Monday, June 27.

Bruce Lehrmann's lawyers claim proceedings must be put on hold to protect prospects of a fair trial after remarks that were 'clearly a contempt of court'

“I’m concerned, when I rehearse how I will empanel a jury. McCallum will decide at 2pm whether to delay the trial to allow the controversy to die down and improve Bruce Lehrmann’s prospects of receiving a fair trial. Whybrow accused Wilkinson of comments that were “clearly a contempt of court”, and said that it appeared from a file note provided by the DPP that Wilkinson had been warned on 15 June The trial is due to start on Monday. Drumgold said that prosecutors, the defence and court all spoke “with one voice” that media coverage had been “completely undesirable”, but the test for the trial delay is whether jurors were exposed to the comments and whether prejudice could be remedied by directions to the jury. McCallum refused a bid for suppression orders to prevent further publications about the case – a decision she rued at Tuesday’s hearing as based on a “misplaced” trust in the press and the law of contempt to prevent further prejudice.

Other than that, that is what actually happened that night.” “A man has been accused of a very serious offence, it is an offence that can only be tried with a jury,” she said in the ACT Supreme Court.

The trial of the man accused of raping Brittany Higgins will be delayed after a judge's order following Lisa Wilkinson's Logies speech.

No new date has been set for the trial. “We accept there is a significant change but the application limited to what it is limited to does not give rise to a temporary stay,” Mr Drumgold told the court ahead of the decision. But Chief Justice McCallum told the court there had been a significant change in the circumstances that would prejudice the trial since her first decision. Both a permanent and temporary stay application were dismissed by Chief Justice McCallum in April, when she said she wasn’t persuaded directions given to the jury couldn’t alleviate concerns of prejudice against Mr Lehrmann. Mr Whybrow said a temporary stay was the only recourse to allow for a fair trial so “adverse publicity can dissipate”. Chief Justice McCallum added that the speech replayed on the Jonesy and Amanda radio show on Monday alongside comments made by the hosts were a “direct extrapolation of guilt” from Wilkinson’s remarks.

“Statements made before a criminal trial that might interfere with the administration of justice and, in particular, the ability of an accused man to have a fair trial risk falling in the classification of contempt.” “A man has been accused of a very serious offence, it is an offence that can only be tried with a jury,” she said in the ACT Supreme Court. During Tuesday morning’s hearing, Ms McCallum said she had “made a mistake” in trusting the law of contempt and the media to do the right thing. “The overriding principle, one that is fundamental to the very notion of a criminal trial and so cannot be dispensed with, is the requirement that the trial be fair.” “And it can further be anticipated, because it happens a lot in the experience of the courts, that the line and cross examination will be about some other motive,’’ she said. “On the contrary, it is appropriate to recognise that the media plays an important role in drawing attention to allegations of criminal or other misconduct and any shortcomings in the treatment of such allegations.” “A central issue in the trial, it is now clear, will be the credibility of the complainant and whether her allegation of sexual assault can be believed.” “The present case is different because the author of the impugned remarks will be a key witness in the trial,” she said. “The implicit premise of (Lisa Wilkinson’s speech) is to celebrate the truthfulness of the story she exposed,” she said in the hearing. “Notwithstanding that clear and appropriate warning, upon receiving the award, Ms Wilkinson gave a speech in which she openly referred to and praised the complainant in the present trial,” Justice McCallum said. “Unsurprisingly, the award, and the content of the speech have been the subject of further commentary.” Justice McCallum warned earlier on Tuesday the line between an allegation and the finding of guilt was “completely obliterated” in the speech given by Wilkinson on Sunday night.

“It could be put [that] you should put out of your mind everything you think you know about this case,” Drumgold told the court. [Lehrmann] has no interest in delaying the trial but he wants it to be a fair trial.” The court heard Drumgold had met with Wilkinson on June 15 to discuss evidence she would give at the trial. Drumgold said the Logie award “was not given for the truth of the story, it was for journalistic skill”, to which McCallum replied: “Mightn’t good journalism be mindful of criminal proceedings and remembering to insert the magic word ‘alleged’?” Drumgold argued the “undesirability of the media” could be dealt with through the jury selection process and the judge’s instructions to jurors. “Notwithstanding that clear and appropriate warning, upon receiving the award Ms Wilkinson gave a speech in which she openly referred to and praised the complainant in the present trial,” McCallum said.
