Lisa Wilkinson’s longtime Channel 10 colleagues have activated Project Presenter – one of her “big heads” online – as a result of her now-infamous luggage speech boiling on the TV network.
Wilkinson’s triumphant speech about Britney Higgins led ACT Chief Justice Lucy McCallum to delay for several months the case of Bruce Lehrman, the alleged rapist of the staff, through the ‘Greeted Teeth’.
This led former former Channel 10 weather presenter Tim Bailey to rip off the controversial broadcaster in a brutal tweet last night, calling him a “big head” and pulling him inside his head.
‘Hey Lisa, pull in the head,’ Bailey said in the now deleted message. ‘I know it can be difficult, because it’s a very big head. But try. ‘ He added, ‘#LisaWilkinson # Logies2022 #carparkthief’.
Lisa Wilkinson is pictured giving her luggage speech Sunday night, where she thanked Brittany Higgins for sharing the story of the alleged sexual abuse.
Legendary Ten News anchor Sandra Sully also liked the tweet that blasted Wilkinson’s speech to showbiz reporter Peter Ford. That message said: ‘Such serious consequences from Lisa Wilkinson … if she had stuck to the silly tales of the paparazzi chasing her at the Chapel St.’
Despite the hustle and bustle, there were indications that Wilkinson denied the consequences of his actions, with the host liking Punter’s tweet, which had nothing to do with the accused in his logistical remarks. If the courts do not recognize the differences, they are part of the problem. ‘
However, insiders of the troubled network have said that employees are drawing internal war lines by speaking openly about their frustration with Wilkinson in his speech on Sunday evening.
Ten news directors Anthony Murdoch announced on Tuesday that he was resigning, with no sign of a replacement.
Mr Murdoch’s move is not linked to the anger over Wilkinson’s remarks.
Separately, Sunrise presenter Natalie Barr expressed disbelief at Sunrise on Wednesday morning – her lawyers always run stories before the Seven Network goes on air.
Former Channel 10 weather presenter Tim Bailey called Lisa Wilkinson a “big head” in a now-deleted tweet.
Tim Bailey is pictured in Sydney on November 9, 2017. In a recently deleted Twitter post, he called on former Channel 10 colleague Lisa Wilkinson to “pull in the head.”
“You know, we have our own lawyers. We usually consult with them before the story airs. Should the Channel 10 lawyers have acted in this case and advocated this speech?”
Higgins’ alleged rapist, Bruce Lehrmann, was given a temporary stay in the ACT Supreme Court on Monday after his lawyer reported that the jury trial would be “disabled” after reporting on Wilkinson’s speech.
Chief Justice Lucy McCullum told the ACT Supreme Court that recent media coverage had biased Lehrmann’s right to a fair trial.
“The case has accordingly attracted a lot of media attention … which is not unprecedented but certainly extreme,” she said on Tuesday.
‘Extensive media reporting of alleged criminal conduct is not naughty in itself.
“The potential misconduct is for the media to report such issues in this way … it affects the criminal case.”
Judge McCullum could have instructed the judges to reduce the bias, but Wilkinson was the key witness.
No date has been set for the trial, but the judge said she would like to hold it this year.
Justice McCullum criticized Wilkinson’s remarks, saying the line between what he said and what he found was “completely blurred.”
Natalie Barr (pictured left with her Sunrise colleague David Koch) visited Lisa Wilkinson and rival Network Channel 10 on Wednesday morning.
Wilkinson won Ms. Higgins’ claim that she was raped in Parliament.
‘Your Honor, it was not necessary to make this speech,’ said Lehrmann Barrister Steve Vibro.
Mr Vibro began the stay application, following Wilkinson’s speech on Tuesday.
He said the temporary stay – essentially, the delay – was the only way to allow for a fair trial so that “unfavorable publicity could spread.”
“In my opinion, it is impossible to hold a hearing in this situation,” he said.

Justice McCullum criticized the media for reporting on Wilkinson’s speech.
“What worries me the most about this latest round is that the distinction between accusation and conviction has been completely erased on Sunday and Monday,” she said.
“(Wilkinson’s speech) is based on convincing the truth of the story he has revealed.”
He added that Ms Higgins’ allegations were bundled with the work of the former Australian of the Year Grace Tame in the public mind, even though one person had been convicted in Ms Tame’s case.
Justice McCullum said: “Grace Tem was talking about her experience after convicting the man and serving her prison sentence.
Bruce Lehrmann (pictured) is accused of having sex without consent. He pleaded not guilty to the charge of assaulting Brittany Higgins in Canberra.
“Ms Tem’s significant contribution to the legal landscape is that the jury knows what she did, the public knows what she did, but I can’t talk about it myself because of the law forbidding her to go out.”
‘Miss Higgins is considered the same. And he is not, ‘said the judge.
‘Right now, he’s not in that category. That’s what really bothered me in the final round. ‘
Crown opposed the stay, arguing that the application did not outline a significant enough risk for the jury that the judge’s order could not exceed.
Former political activist Britney Higgins (Photo Front) told the media that she left the Commonwealth Parliamentary Office on Friday, April 30, 2021 after meeting with then Prime Minister Scott Morrison in Sydney.
‘The trial is most appropriate … there is a real and substantial risk that despite the trial judge’s efforts there will be decisive members who may have biased the convict and that cannot be rectified,’ ACT Director of Public Prosecution Shane Drumgold told the court. .
“We acknowledge that there has been significant change, but this limited application does not lead to temporary settlement.”
The Supreme Court had ruled that Wilkinson would be called as a witness in the case.
On Monday, Mr Drumgold said Luggage’s speech was a “return” of emotion, pointing to what Mr Wilkinson had said earlier.
Justice McCullum said, in short, Ms. Wilkinson’s speech stated: ‘I not only believe her, but she is courageous and extraordinary and she is the most important thing I have and I am proud to bring her allegations forward …
Justice Lucy McCullum said the public has linked the case of Britney Higgins (right) to the work of former Australian of the Year Grace Tame (left), even though one person was convicted in Ms Tame’s case.
“We know that the accused has given a recorded interview in which he has denied any sexual activity,” she said.
A previous deferred application was rejected by Justice McCullum in April, when he said that the direction given to the arbitrator could not reduce the prejudice concerns against Lehrmann.
Mr Drumgold argued that the second application constituted a “re-movement of that order”.
The trial is set to begin on June 6, but was postponed until June 27 after Lehrmann’s barrister was released a few days before the hearing.
