WSFM has apologised for comments made by Brendan Jones about the conduct of Liberal staffer Fiona Brown.

During the rape trial of Bruce Lehrmann, Brown strongly denied that she had been anything but supportive of Brittany Higgins.

On WSFM’s website, the station has expressed regret about statements made by Jones.

On WSFM, on the 20th June 2022, a segment was published regarding the Logies awards from the night before. During that segment a comment was made by Brendan Jones which would be understood as critical of those who dealt in Parliament House with the rape allegations made by Ms Brittany Higgins against a fellow staffer.

A reference to Ms Higgins’ superiors was understood by Ms Fiona Brown, who held a senior position, to be a reference to her conduct. Due to the ongoing criminal proceedings we were previously unable to clarify our position.

We now apologise to Fiona Brown if our broadcast caused her any distress or concern and retract any imputation that may have arisen in relation to her.

The comments were made in a Jonesy & Amanda interview with Lisa Wilkinson the day after her Logies acceptance speech in June this year.

ACT Supreme Court justice Lucy McCallum ruled Wilkinson’s speech and the subsequent radio interview had “completely obliterated” the distinction between an allegation and finding of guilt.
