Subtitles section

He's dubbed himself Bruce's babysitter, a former Channel Seven producer whose bombshell allegations have reopened Lehman's defamation trial.

On the stand today, more shocking claims, from a cocaine bender to hiring prostitutes, all allegedly in a day's work.

Afternoon, Taylor.

Can you tell us, what's your beef with Bruce at the moment?

The man of the hour, Taylor Auerbach.

What are you hoping comes out of these claims, Taylor?

An unemployed TV producer, now the Headline Act.

His explosive claims stopping a federal court judge in his tracks.

Do you stand by these claims, Taylor?

I mean, they're pretty wild allegations, aren't they?

Auerbach's eleventh hour evidence delaying the much anticipated ruling in the Bruce Lehrman defamation trial.

The thirty two year old worked for Channel Seven's Spotlight program.

He was appointed as Lerriman's handler in the network's bid to lock down an exclusive interview with the accused rapist.

You ready?

Let's light some fires.

Today, Taylor Auerbach lit a blowtorch of his own, revealing a tailor made package, apparently no expense spared, checkbook journalism laid bare in a hotbed of allegations aired before the federal court.

Three damning affidavits alleging sex, drugs, whining and dining, and a round of golf.

Channel Seven racking up eye watering expenses to nail down their prized scoop.

According to the Auerbach allegations,

At the top of Lerriman's wish list, though denied by him, Thai massage services to the tune of more than ten thousand dollars, itemized in one thousand dollar receipts handed to the judge.

Our back sensationally claiming Channel Seven also reimbursed Bruce Lerriman for the cost of illicit drugs, prostitutes, even a visit to a brothel in the lead up to Lerriman inking the exclusive deal with the network.

He revealed to the court one particular night where... Mr Lerman over dinner had purchased a bag of cocaine.

When we got upstairs to the room, he pulled that out and started to put it on a plate and then started talking to me about a prospective story and his desire to order prostitutes to the Meryton that night.

And during that conversation, he agreed to being in a spotlight interview as long as we didn't ask about the night what happened in Canberra.

Albach kept delivering the bombshells, claiming he raised concerns with his spotlight boss, telling him, Bruce was on the warpath again, and I told him this was no anomaly.

And if you don't mind me swearing, Your Honour, I use the word, this is... Albach claimed Seven made arrangements to reimburse Bruce Lehrman for his bender.

The plan was he would issue an invoice for per diems, and that would be paid for by Seven.

Auerbach paints Lerriman as a man with an insatiable appetite, tabling more receipts that gave the Channel Seven credit card a workout.

Five hundred and seventeen dollars for one dinner, four hundred and fifty for another.

One boys night out included a whopping tomahawk steak worth three hundred and sixty one dollars.

A one point nine kilogram slab of meat, a shared centrepiece.

And the sweeteners kept coming.

More than eleven thousand dollars put a roof over Bruce's head for three weeks while he mulled over the deal.

Once he'd signed, Seven forked out another one hundred thousand dollars on his rent for an entire year.

There was also a golf trip to the exclusive Barn Bugle course in Tasmania.

On board the flight there, Auerbach, next to his former boss, spotlight executive producer Mark Llewellyn, taking happy snaps.

But it's these photos, supplied by Auerbach, which have now landed Mr Llewellyn in the thick of it.

Auerbach claims this is Llewellyn.

inadvertently catching himself in the reflection as he photographs the screen of Bruce Lehrman's laptop.

The information captured, confidential communication sent by his accuser Brittany Higgins to others, collected as part of the police brief of evidence in the Bruce Lehrman rape case.

The messages provided to Lerriman by police for the sole purpose of preparing his defence for that criminal trial, not to be shared but somehow aired in Spotlight's exclusive story.

Bruce Lerriman denies providing the information to Spotlight and seven lawyers say it came from a protected source.

Al Bakhsafidavit also claims he was asked to help Lerriman use a photocopier at Channel Seven to copy documents from the trial.

So why does this all matter?

Well, Albach's testimony goes to the heart of Bruce Lehrman's credibility.

A man who claims his character was defamed by Channel Ten when it broadcast Brittany Higgins' allegations on an episode of The Project in the year of his death.

Justice Michael Lee was due to hand down his ruling on this defamation case today, but sensationally delayed it so you can hear these eleventh hour bombshell claims.

Auerbach's testimony put his own credibility under the microscope during cross examination.

He's worked in print and TV for more than a decade, including a stint here at Nine, but his bizarre social media videos gave Lehrman's barrister plenty of ammo.

Albach's hatred for a former mate's golf clubs no match for his love of karaoke.

Lehrman's barrister, Matthew Richardson, questioned his state of mind and painted him as a man who drank too much.

He pressed Auerbach on why he wrote an apology to his former Seven boss for putting ten grand's worth of massage services on the corporate card in a drunken haze that had nothing to do with work.

Auerbach said he later realised the night in question had everything to do with work and he was rewarded for courting Lehrman.

I was given a promotion and a pay rise, sir.

Auerbach and Seven parted ways last year.

The producer claimed he was the victim of sustained bullying and anti Semitism in the wake of the Thai Massage fallout.

He received a six figure payout.

Lehrman's barrister described him as an ex employee with a killer grudge.

I want to suggest to you, Mr. Alback, that you are here today to do as much damage to your former employer and former colleagues as you possibly can.

Strongly disagree.

Round one over for the former Spotlight producer.

Round two tomorrow.

Yeah, it'll be another big day.

Lizzie Pearl was at court.

Lizzie, plenty of bombshells.

Oh, look, Ali, today was the day we thought we'd get a full stop on this very long running defamation trial, with a judge ruling on whether Bruce Lemon was or wasn't defamed by Channel Ten.

Instead...

a whole new chapter bombshell after bombshell with allegations about exactly how Channel Seven and their staff went about locking in this deal.

And it looks like this is going to be going on for a little bit longer than we all thought today.

So Taylor Albach, he is the former Channel Seven producer.

How did he seem today?

Well, look, he came to court.

He was wearing a suit.

He seemed quite composed in the stand.

And he was questioned on his motivations for coming to court and for his motivations in signing these affidavits with these explosive claims.

And it was put to him that he was doing this to inflict damage on his former employer and the people that still work there.

He emphatically denied that.

But they were very important questions to ask and he did answer them.

You know what though, just listening to it today, so much of it was ugly and it tarnishes our whole industry, not just Channel Seven.

I was thinking today when Taylor Auerbach was giving his evidence, what are people at home thinking about the TV industry?

They will be shocked, but we're all equally shocked because these allegations, they're grubby, they're gritty.

There's allegations of drugs and prostitutes.

And you know, we know about the stories of the TV industry in the eighties and nineties.

We've heard the stories.

These allegations are wild.

And yeah, you're right.

It does tarnish the whole industry.

And you've got to remember, too, that all of this comes from what really happened late at night at Parliament House five years ago.

Yeah, Ali, it's really easy to get sidetracked by this sideshow and the theatrics.

But we do need to remember there's a woman, Brittany Higgins, who made an allegation that she was raped at Parliament House in a minister's office in twenty nineteen.

She stands by that allegation.

Equally, Bruce Lehrman denies.

He's always denied and he maintains his innocence.

But so many people have been caught up in this.

We've seen MPs, we've seen former Prime Ministers, TV producers, presenters, everyday people, political staffers dragged into this.

And this is something that the judge is going to have to decide on because there was no conclusion to a criminal trial.

So what happened in that office five years ago

now comes down to a judge to decide, as he decides, whether Bruce Lerman was defamed or not.

And that's it, isn't it?

This defamation trial, we heard a lot of that evidence, so in a lot of ways it has sort of been that pseudo rape trial.

As you mentioned, today we were meant to get that ruling on whether he was defamed by Channel Ten and Lisa Wilkinson.

That seems a while off now.

It does.

This trial has already sat for more than twenty days.

There's already been thousands upon thousands of pages of testimony, thousands of pages of affidavits.

Another mountain of testimony has just landed on the judge's desk today.

And we're going to be hearing more tomorrow.

So whether we get a decision on this in the near future or the far future, I would say it's going to be a lot longer after next week because the judge now has this

a whole new chapter of evidence to look at and to weigh up when he's coming to his decision.

And that's his.

So many lives and careers have been destroyed in all of this.

More still to come.

Thanks Lizzie.

Thanks Ali.
