Bruce Lehrmann's lawyers have suggested that Brittany Higgins has a financial interest in maintaining her rape allegation, as she faces cross-examination in the Federal Court. Higgins is set to earn $216,000 if her book deal with Penguin Random House is published, and she has already received more than $108,000 as an advance. Mr. Whybrow asked Ms. Higgins if the marketability of her potentially future memoir is "at least in some substantial part, related to the truth of your allegations that Mr. Lehrmann sexually assaulted you." Ms. Higgins replied that she will donate any money she earns from the book to charity and that she doesn't care about the money. Mr. Whybrow also suggested that Ms. Higgins has changed or altered her "narrative" multiple times to account for new information she has received, which Ms. Higgins disputed.
