Bruce Lehrmann was accused of sexually assaulting Ms Higgins, his former colleague, in Parliament House after a night out in Canberra in March 2019.
A photo uploaded to Facebook in March last year - seven months before the trial - showed Mr Lehrmann smiling with a group of his peers, having just finished picking a batch of pinot sparkling. - Mr Lehrmann has stayed out of the public eye since trial was dropped last year - First trial was aborted and the second was dropped by the ACT public prosecutor
