The latest unexpected twist in the Lehrmann defamation trial has origins in a much smaller political scandal
www.abc.net.au
The Federal Court this week played host to allegations of cocaine benders, boozy dinners, $10,000 in sex worker and massage services charged to the Network Seven company card. The unexpected twist has its origins in a much smaller, Sydney political scandal.

    IMO this is a prime example of why the media need to shut their damn mouths until a court case is finalised.

    Report the crime, report the outcome.

    All the shit in the middle does nothing but bias the case and cause mistrials and shit.

    Just shut your face ffs.

    Working the name “Taylor Swift” into any news article is the ultimate 2024 click bait.

    It must suck for her PR people. They have to read articles about all sorts of unrelated matters to make sure they aren’t actually about Taylor Swift.

      I hadn’t clicked the article yet. I was about to, until I read your comment. Now I don’t want to dignify the clickbait with a click.

      But I am still curious: how exactly have they tied Swift into this?

        @Zagorath Police commissioner uses clunky TS quote. Needs new PR advisor. New hire is ex-7, and Auerbach’s nemisis. It’s not clear why that has anything to do with Auerbach’s testimony or why he decided to speak up.
