Someone among Linda Reynolds' advisors should have had the courage to tell her that persisting with this defamation trial, especially in the wake of the Bruce Lehrmann trial, is really shitty optics.

And the fact that they tried to make it all about alleging that Higgins wanted to bring down the government, while putting Reynolds into the role of the victim, makes it even worse.

I really hope Reynolds fails in this trial.

She seems to have the hubris of Lehrmann, as Christrian Porter had before them. Something about being in the Liberal party makes you believe that normal rules don't apply.
