Network Seven allegedly reimbursed Bruce Lehrmann for the cost of “illicit drugs and prostitutes” and covered other perks, including more than $10,000 for Thai massages, over $110,000 for accommodation, and flights to Tasmania to play golf, a former Seven producer has claimed.

Former Spotlight staffer Taylor Auerbach has sworn affidavits detailing the network’s efforts to convince Mr Lehrmann to do a tell-all interview, and the destruction of records by Mr Auerbach and a colleague afterwards, in a bid to escape legal scrutiny.
