A young Bruce Lehrmann was asked if he had deceived himself in a recent interview with his position as a political worker.
A brief clip obtained by the Australian Daily Mail shows Lehrmann was stopped by Beau Ryan on Channel 9’s The Footy Show.
When asked what he did for his job, the then freelancer said he was “political.”
“Have you ever used your role in government?” Ryan asked which Lehrmann quickly replied: “No, this is not allowed, this is not allowed”.
But Ryan continued his questioning, asking the staff “What if you accidentally take out the wrong credit card?”
Before kidding, a smiling Lehrmann seemed to consider this: “Well, I guess that was accidental”.
“What, like massage, etc?” Ryan shot back.
“You know,” the staff said with a smile.

Lehrmann (pictured in 2024) was previously appointed ministerial staff for Linda Reynolds
Lehrmann, 29, previously served as a ministerial staff in the parliamentary office of Liberty Senator Linda Reynolds.
He was found in a separate libel lawsuit against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson and in an interview with Ms. Higgins of the project, and thus found he raped former liberal staff member Brittany Higgins in civil court.
He is currently bringing up the decision.
When the Australian Daily Mail contacted Lehrmann’s legal team, they did not make a statement about the conversation.
A representative of Beau Ryan has also been contacted for comment.
