Next Wednesday (27-8-25) former Senator Linda Reynolds’ defamation case against Brittany Higgins and her husband David Sharaz is set down for judgment next in the WA Supreme Court.
The judge will have to find whether or not a victim of crime, Brittany Higgins, has defamed former Senator Linda Reynolds, who went out of her way to support rapist Bruce Lehrmann and publicly attack Brittany Higgins.
Because Western Australia has the old defamation laws, unlike the rest of the country who all have the same updated uniform defamation laws, Reynolds is likely to at least win her case against David Sharaz.
Linda Reynolds sued both Brittany Higgins and her husband David Sharaz over different social media posts, and while Higgins defended the case against her, Sharaz decided not to defend the matter because of the costs to do so.
In any other state Linda Reynolds would almost certainly lose against both Brittany Higgins and her husband David Sharaz because Reynolds would need to prove “serious harm” which would be almost impossible to do given Reynolds reputation has been trashed online for years, and mostly because of her own doing.
Anyone who has watched the scandal from the start would have their own highlights, or lowlights, of Linda Reynolds disgusting behaviour and lies. A few are:
- Linda Reynolds went on the Channel 7 Spotlight show to support rapist Bruce Lehrmann and attack Brittany Higgins. (Click here to watch the video)
- Senator Linda Reynolds perjured herself at Bruce Lehrmann’s rape trial on key evidence about when she first knew about the rape.
- Senator Linda Reynolds tried to coach Bruce Lehrmann’s lawyers at the rape trial with evidence she thought would help Lehrmann.
- Linda Reynolds using her retirement speech in the Senate, under the protection of parliamentary privilege, to attack Brittany Higgins and defend herself and Scott Morrison as being victims of “The Plan”. (Click here to read more)
It’s worth noting that on the 24th of August 2023 Linda Reynolds sent me a defamation legal threat, after I emailed them questions, which I ignored and wrote an article about.

Linda Reynolds bizarre resignation speech
On the 1st of April 2025 I published an article titled “Scott Morrison was a target of “The plan” claims professional victim Senator Linda Reynolds” which starts off:
Scott Morrison was a target of “The plan” orchestrated by Brittany Higgins and her husband David Sharaz professional victim Senator Linda Reynolds claimed in her resignation speech to parliament last week.
Senator Linda Reynolds spent a large part of her 50-minute speech playing the victim and defaming Brittany Higgins and her husband David Sharaz under the protection of parliamentary privilege. (Click here to read the article)
Below is the video of Linda Reynolds speech which went for just on 50 minutes, but I have edited it down to the 15 minutes she claims to be a victim and the ending so you can see who is supporting her
“Professional victim Senator Linda Reynolds’ retirement speech lies analysed” – The speech was made on Wednesday night the 26th of March 2025 at parliament house.
Linda Reynolds has never made any mention of Scott Morrison’s and the Liberal Party’s “Plan” to cover-up the rape because it was only a few weeks before the 2019 federal election which there is a mile of evidence to support. (Click here to read more)
Brittany Higgins defence
Brittany Higgins barrister and lawyers did well with one telling the court “Ms Young told the court the senator’s evidence was “problematic, unreliable and self-serving” and at times were “demonstrably wrong.”
and:
Ms Young said the evidence in the proceedings found the senator’s hurt and distress, and loss of reputation occurred two years before Ms Higgins’ publications.
She said the senator was not entitled to be compensated for publications Ms Higgins is not responsible for.
She said the fallout of calling Ms Higgins a lying cow, loss of the defence portfolio and not being picked for a shadow ministry, and hard questioning in the senate were all matters that caused the senator hurt or reputational damage, which Ms Higgins could not be found liable.
She said any damaged awarded to the senator if Ms Higgins’ lost should be minimal and that the senator’s reputation was already “baked in” by 2023.
“Her hurt and distress was caused by events and publications in 2021,” Ms Young said.
“The senator’s own evidence that damage to her reputation and injury occurred in 2021.”
Ms Young told the court that this evidence was corroborated by the senator’s partner, her closest friends and brother.
She said the evidence about the impact of events in 2021 on the senator identified her hurt and distress, not Ms Higgins’ publications in 2023.
She said the senator’s submission in the Sofronoff inquiry demonstrated she wanted to make it a criminal offence for complainants to speak out to the media or parliament.
“The senator wished to silence sexual assault victims,” she said.
Ms Young told the court Ms Higgins’ posts were protected by qualified privilege, and defences of fair comment and honest opinion. (Click here to read more)
Reynolds was also caught deleting text messages with Lehrmann’s barrister Steve Whybrow for what Reynolds claims was “cyber hygiene” and leaking “documents relating to Higgins’ personal injury claim that were marked “confidential” and “legal professional privilege” to” Bruce Lehrmann supporter Janet Albrechtsen at Murdoch’s The Australian.
Reynolds said she chose Albrechtsen because she had “respect for her professionalism and her even-handedness”.
“I believe she was fair and balanced,” Reynolds said. (Click here to read more)
At best, Linda Reynolds’ defamation cases are frivolous and vexatious just like Bruce Lehrmann’s.
Bruce Lehrmann, and Reynolds support for Lehrmann, greatly damaged Linda Reynolds
Bruce Lehrmann was exposed as a rapist, who gave false evidence, when Justice Michael Lee published his judgement in Lehrmann’s defamation case in April 2024 and that put a bowling ball through Linda Reynolds’ defamation case which was heard in August 2024.
After Justice Lee’s judgment Linda Reynolds went from someone supporting an accused rapist, which was bad given the public evidence, to someone who supported a rapist and publicly attacked the victim to help the rapist, which was even worse.
Linda Reynolds should have dropped her defamation case after Justice Lee found Lehrmann had raped Brittany Higgins.
Because David Sharaz didn’t defend the case against himself, and because WA still uses the old defamation laws, it is highly likely that Linda Reynolds will have a win against him.
As with Lehrmann, the judge should find that Linda Reynolds was an unsatisfactory witness at the very least and dismiss the case against Brittany Higgins.
Any finding in Reynolds’ favour against David Sharaz should also be dismissed because of Reynolds unsatisfactory performance as a witness in her case against Brittany Higgins, which is the polite way of saying Reynolds perjured herself like no tomorrow.

Ahh, memories… I especially liked Scott Morrison memorable recall in Parliament, that he found out about the assault by Lehrmann on “12th April …. I’m sorry Mr Speaker, there’s a mistake in my notes … 21st February 2021”, 12 April 2019 being the date he was probably told about it by Reynolds, after it happened late in March 2019. She knew.
Liars the lot of ’em. They lie to save their own skin; in this case it didn’t work.
Another great post by KCA, laying it all out, unlike our biased LNP agenda driven media. That media’s usual suspects Lehrmann cheer squad, that actually made rape political. I was astounded as the news of the Parliament rape was reported, how it was played out on in the media on political lines. This probably more than anything I have ever seen in politics in this country, singled out the extremist LNP supporters backing Lehrmann, no matter what the facts were, so vehemently, with so such much completely unhinged malice, against those that were honest enough to call out what was so deplorable about this whole affair. The relentless sustained attacks in the media and social media, on the actual victim Higgins were extraordinary. Everyone no doubt experienced this first hand as well. Every time we look at the record of that former Morrison Govt, it’s hard not to think that there’s some kind of competition between LNP Reps and Senators to see how low and far they could go over to the dark side. Which one can be seen to be the most deplorable, free of any empathy, compassion, decency and loyalty to the position they held in Parliament or to the people that they pretend to represent and as we see here, their own staffers! Reynolds is definitely a contender and as we can all see detailed here, she has done it all on her own! Reynolds may be gone but looking at their meeting in QLD yesterday, all the rest of them are still there and still have the same attitude!
From the article “Because David Sharaz didn’t defend the case against himself, and because WA still uses the old defamation laws, it is highly likely that Linda Reynolds will have a win against him”.
If that happens, will he cop a substantial financial penalty? If he is broke, does bankruptcy give him a way out? The thought of Reynolds be rewarded sickens me.
Let’s hope Reynolds goes down hard. Aussie Bob
Pull out the violin. We all know who the lying cow is, and it’s not Higgins. This terrible, vindictive woman, Reynolds, was one of the biggest abusers of parliamentary privilege in living memory, and she continues abusing it right to her last days in parliament.
Good riddance to this self-serving, parasitic and lying cow and let’s hope Karma comes around and bites her on her massive self-pitying, greedy arse when hopefully, she loses her defamation case against the Higgins family.
Lindy did it, not the dingo!!!! Oops, I`m in the wrong conspiracy. The only thing we can learn from the above fiasco is that it is impossible for the average Joe/Joey Blow to go to court unless he/she wins Lotto. Or has millionaire backers.
Libs and their media lackies destroyed any chance of a fair trial. Gee I thought the libs worshipped the rule of law.
