of contriving “a scheme to improperly use the complaint by Murdoch about the article to generate subscriptions to Crikey and thus income to Private Media under the guise of defending public interest journalism.” As Lachlan’s attorney argued, without irony, in a January 30 court appearance: “We say Beecher and Hayward are the relevant guiding minds of Private Media and I should say, your Honor, surprisingly so.
It’s therefore reasonable to assume Crikey’s lawyers will seek to enter the Dominion material into the case—which would further expand the scope of the trial—and that Lachlan may have to testify about it.
