Mandy Nolan’s Soapbox: Couching an Opinion

The Bruce Lehrmann and Brittany Higgins case was never about establishing whether or not Lehrmann raped Higgins. It was about Brittany. She was established as not ‘the perfect victim’ so we overlooked the blazingly obvious fact that Bruce Lehrmann was ‘the perfect perpetrator’.

Police say a man and a woman died in a single-vehicle crash south of Casino Saturday night.

Emergency services were reportedly called to Ellangowan Road, Ellangowan, about 8.50pm Saturday, where they found a sedan had left the road, hit a tree and caught fire.

Passers-by tried to help but the 18-year-old man driving the sedan had already died and the only passenger, an 18-year-old woman, also soon died on-scene.

Richmond Police District officers on Sunday said they were investigating circumstances surrounding the crash and would prepare a report for the Coroner.

Anyone with information about this incident is urged to contact Crime Stoppers: 1800 333 000 or https://nsw.crimestoppers.com.au. Information is treated in strict confidence. The public is reminded not to report information via NSW Police social media pages.
