Bruce Lehrmann had ‘bad vibes’ and wasn’t someone former colleague wanted to spend time with, court hears

Nikita Irvine also says Brittany Higgins seemed ‘sad’ and told her about alleged assault in Parliament House

Bruce Lehrmann’s former colleague, an aide-de-camp for senator Linda Reynolds, has told the federal court she had “bad vibes” about him based on her “women’s intuition”.

The army major, Nikita Irvine, also said she discussed Brittany Higgins’ allegation of sexual assault against Lehrmann with both Reynolds and her chief of staff Fiona Brown.
