‘Musings and fantasies’: Bruce Lehrmann fights to reclaim seized diary from corruption watchdog

Key points

• Bruce Lehrmann wants the Federal Court to order the return of a diary seized during a raid on his Hobart home by the National Anti-Corruption Commission. His lawyer told the court the diary holds his personal thoughts, not Cabinet information.
• The Commonwealth argues parts of it contain sensitive Cabinet material that should not be returned. The corruption watchdog has dropped its investigation into allegations he took documents from former defence minister Linda Reynolds' office.
• Justice Brigitte Markovic reserved her decision and the matter returns to court on December 2.
