Steve Price: Australian Correspondent on Scott Morrison appearing for the Brittany Higgins defamation trial
The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB
Former Australian Prime Minister, Scott Morrison testified yesterday via video link in a defamation case Senator Linda Reynolds brought against her former staffer, Brittany Higgins. Senator Reynolds is suing Ms Higgins over social media posts made last year, which she claims greatly injured her character and reputation and caused her distress and embarrassment. Mr Morrison stood by his previous criticism of Senator Reynolds for calling Ms Higgins a "lying cow", deeming the comment unacceptable. Morrison criticized Labor for "weaponizing" Brittany Higgins's rape allegation, saying he was concerned it endangered his former defence minister's life. Steve Price, Australian Correspondent, told Mike Hosking the former Prime Minister was getting interrupted by the judge. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
