Survivor advocate Brittany Higgins is backing calls for changes to court processes in New South Wales to make it easier for sexual assault complainants to give evidence. Speaking in support of reforms that would allow victims to provide prerecorded testimony, Higgins argues that the current system makes giving evidence “harder than it needs to be.” Both reports describe her position as focused on reducing barriers for victims during legal proceedings, particularly during the process of giving evidence in court. The coverage presents Higgins as joining broader advocacy aimed at improving how evidence is handled, with prerecorded statements seen as a way to lessen the impact of giving testimony in a live courtroom setting. The articles do not provide details on the specific mechanism, scope, or timing of the proposed NSW changes, but they agree on the central point: Higgins supports permitting prerecorded evidence for sexual assault victims as a reform to the current approach to testimony.
