Brittany Higgins and David Sharaz add to their Gold Coast home

Brittany Higgins outfits her lavish new home with the latest appliances as she explores the neighborhood with her fiancé.

Former political staffer and her groom-to-be David Sharaz moved into the beachfront home on the Gold Coast about two weeks ago.

Ms Higgins left Brisbane to complete her law degree at Bond University on the Gold Coast after receiving a large Commonwealth settlement.

The payout followed the failed prosecution of fellow Liberal staffer Bruce Lerhmann, who accused Ms Higgins of raping her on a bench in Parliament House.

Mr Sharaz, who quit his job when the couple moved out, helped deliverers move a new fridge around the house on Saturday.

The refrigerator joins other expensive furnishings in the posh home, including a $500 white velvet mirror and a $330 decorative side table.

Mrs Higgins and Mr Sharaz took a walk around their Gold Coast neighborhood at a different time of day and visited a local cafe.

Mr Sharaz wore the same dark green T-shirt and fluorescent shorts he put on to move the fridge, while Mrs Higgins opted for a sundress in the Queensland heat.

The outing also brought home something else to decorate the new home with Mr. Sharaz carrying a small potted cactus around town.

More furniture for their home is on its way as movers cleared out their house in Brisbane on Thursday.

Workers were seen carrying furniture and bags of belongings out of the house and loading them onto a moving truck.

The couple showed off their new home in social media posts when they moved in, with photos showing how close it was to the beach.

Her mother Kelly Higgins, who is a real estate agent, commented: “It’s exactly what you deserve my angel.”

‘A beautiful house in a beautiful location. Lots of great memories to share and create. Miss you already xx.”

Mr. Sharaz, who quit his job at Southern Cross Austereo in mid-February, posted his own photo of a beach near their new home with the caption, “No, I don’t miss the 9-5.”

Ms Higgins reached a settlement with the Commonwealth in December for an undisclosed amount after she sought damages for sexual harassment, discrimination and negligence.

She later denied that her payout was worth $3 million – insisting she received “much less” and threatening legal action if the figure was repeated.

The month-long ACT High Court trial against her alleged rapist, Mr Lehrmann, was aborted in October due to juror misconduct.

She alleged that Mr Lehrmann raped her in Parliament House in March 2019 after a night out. He pleaded not guilty and maintained his innocence.

Shane Drumgold, ACT’s Director of Public Prosecutions, dropped the case altogether in December, citing concerns about Ms Higgins’ mental health.

Mr Lehrmann sued Channel 10, Lisa Wilkinson and News Corp in Federal Court for publishing stories about Ms Higgins’ allegations in February 2021.

The first day of proceedings on Thursday didn’t go well for him as he was grilled over drunken texts he sent his then-girlfriend when Ms Higgins went public.

Mr. Lehrmann’s girlfriend at the time, Greta Sinclair, was distraught over the extraordinary televised accusations.

He calmed her down by firing off messages suggesting his lawyer had told him he was a “pawn” and “part of a larger political hatchet.”

During cross-examination in Federal Court in Sydney on Thursday, Mr Lehrmann admitted to Ten’s lawyer, Matthew Collins SC, that Mr Korn never said that.

“If I’m called tonight, I’m up for millions of slander… (Mr. Korn) said I won’t see the light of a courtroom,” he reassured her.

Later that night, at 10:02 PM, he sent Mrs. Sinclair another message saying: [Mr Korn] continues to take notes though, very professional’.

While being grilled in court, Mr. Lehrmann admitted that Mr. Korn did not, in fact, take notes during their conversation and insisted that he just wanted to make Ms. Sinclair feel good.

“I wanted her to think I had my house in order.”

Dr. Collins suggested that the meeting with Mr. Korn “wasn’t professional at all” because “you poured your heart out there and drank whiskey” and “Mr. Korn didn’t take notes?”

Mr. Lehrmann admitted, “He wasn’t. Not as far as I remember, no.’
