Lisa Wilkinson Logies Speech
Lisa Wilkinson contradicted in her statement that Shane Drumgold SC who is the ACT director of public prosecutions had a meeting with her and others to prepare her for the possibility of being a witness in the trial on June 15, 2022.

Drumgold’s notes claim that Lisa Wilkinson had mentioned a planned acceptance speech but the ACT director of public prosecutions told her they were not speech editors and “we have no power to approve or prohibit any public comment.” But the notes also state that he told Lisa that the defense could apply for a stay if there was any publicity regarding it in the case. On Monday, Drumgold told the independent inquiry that he felt he appropriately conveyed the risk of commenting publicly though he could not hear Lisa and her lawyer discussing his advice.
Lisa Wilkinson said in her statement Drumgold did not inform her that publicity posed a risk to the trial. She further claimed if Drumgold had told she would definitely question it and give existing publicity. “I specifically raised the issue of the speech with Mr. Drumgold because I was concerned to ensure that it did not in any way impact on the trial, and trusted that he would appropriately advise or warn me of any risk that he perceived,” Wilkinson’s statement reads. According to Wilkinson, not mention the trial was the only clear warning she was given by Drumgold and she did not mention the trial.
