Brittany Higgins hopes Bruce Lehrmann rape finding sets ‘new precedent’ for sexual assault survivors
Sat, 20 Apr 2024 08:18:49 GMT
In her first statement since a judge dismissed Lehrmann’s defamation action, Higgins also takes swipe at Seven’s Spotlight program
Brittany Higgins says she hopes Justice Michael Lee’s judgment in Bruce Lehrmann’s failed defamation case will set a new precedent for how courts consider the testimonies of victims of sexual assault.
In a statement on Saturday, Higgins also said she was “devastated a rapist was given a nationwide platform to maintain his lies about what happened”. She hoped people who contributed to Channel Seven’s Spotlight program last June, in which Lehrmann was interviewed, “will reflect on their decision”.

US House to vote on long-delayed foreign aid bills – including Ukraine support
Sat, 20 Apr 2024 13:47:07 GMT
Ukraine aid component threatens to throw the Republican party into disarray – and endangers the speakership of Mike Johnson
The US House of Representatives will finally vote on Saturday on a series of foreign aid bills, bringing an end to a months-long standoff in Congress led mostly by Republicans who refuse to support funding Ukraine’s ongoing military defense against Russia’s invasion.
House members will hold separate votes on four bills that represent $95bn in funding altogether – including roughly $26bn in aid for Israel, $61bn for Ukraine, $8bn for US allies in the Indo-Pacific region and $9bn in humanitarian assistance for civilians in war zones, such as Gaza.

Republicans erupt into open warfare over Ukraine aid package vote
Sat, 20 Apr 2024 13:14:53 GMT
As the speaker of the House finally allows a vote to go forward on aid, the GOP’s internecine warfare is tearing apart the party
Republican divisions over military support for Ukraine were long simmering. Now, ahead of Saturday’s extraordinary vote in Congress on a foreign aid package, they have erupted into open warfare – a conflict that the vote itself is unlikely to contain.
Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House of Representatives, triggered an all-out split in his own party’s ranks last week by finally agreeing, after months of stalling, to a floor vote on the $95bn foreign aid programme. Passed by the Senate in February, it contained about $60bn for Ukraine, $14bn for Israel, and a smaller amount for Taiwan and other Pacific allies.

Republicans erupt into open warfare over Ukraine aid package vote
Sat, 20 Apr 2024 13:14:53 GMT
As the speaker of the House finally allows a vote to go forward on aid, the GOP’s internecine warfare is tearing apart the party
Republican divisions over military support for Ukraine were long simmering. Now, ahead of Saturday’s extraordinary vote in Congress on a foreign aid package, they have erupted into open warfare – a conflict that the vote itself is unlikely to contain.
Mike Johnson, the speaker of the House of Representatives, triggered an all-out split in his own party’s ranks last week by finally agreeing, after months of stalling, to a floor vote on the $95bn foreign aid programme. Passed by the Senate in February, it contained about $60bn for Ukraine, $14bn for Israel, and a smaller amount for Taiwan and other Pacific allies.

They had one goal: to take enough medals to be among the Games’ top five Olympic and top eight Paralympic nations. He was putting pressure on them, he said last week – previously described as “healthy pressure” – but the goal was “absolutely attainable”.

Chinese swimmers won Olympic golds after testing positive for banned drug
Sat, 20 Apr 2024 12:43:43 GMT
- Wada accepted contaminated kitchen explanation
- Head of US Anti-Doping calls it ‘stab in back of clean athletes’
Twenty-three Chinese swimmers tested positive for the banned drug TMZ months before the Tokyo Olympics in 2021, it has emerged. However, they were cleared to compete at the Games after the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) accepted an explanation from the Chinese authorities that the kitchen at their hotel was contaminated.
The story, which has come to light after a joint investigation by the German TV channel ARD and the New York Times, has led to widespread criticism of Wada from senior figures in anti-doping, with one calling the case “shocking” and another a “devastating stab in the back to clean athletes”.
