It comes as with “gritted teeth” a judge has delayed the trial for the man accused of raping Brittany Higgins after TV presenter Lisa Wilkinson “completely obliterated” the line between allegation and guilt in her Logies acceptance speech.Īpparently, wreckin’ the joint isjust par for the course but questions about who payz the bill(s) aint.

The old tweet comes after the veteran journalist Logie’s speech and resulting media commentary caused delay in the criminal trial of former parliamentary staffer Brittany Higgins. Wilkinson’s Tweet from August last year warned users against “passing judgement” about a man accused of alleged sexual assault of a woman in parliament as this could have “dire consequences” for judicial fairness. A resurfaced tweet from Lisa Wilkinson’s Twitter account seemingly shows that the TV presenter was aware of the dangers of speaking about the case.
