It's pretty damaging to your reputation to sue a rape victim for defamation. Or at least it should be.
On-brand for a Liberal pollie, though.
Can’t disagree with the ruling. Everything about the entire Higgins situation has been an absolute shitshow, and everyone involved seem like absolute pieces of shit.
Damn, it's expensive to get (allegedly) raped these days!
Did you miss the part where she got a like $2.4mil payout despite never having proven that she was raped?
Yeah I think I missed that. This thing dragged on for so long I couldn't keep up.
