后来的更新是，其实她之后，在四月份时，还穿了一次。另外辩方还有其它细节上的诘问。看来是试图让她看起来说话不可靠的样子。
Ms Higgins conceded she had "made a mistake" in her testimony when discussing the white dress she wore on the night of her alleged rape.
Under questioning, Ms Higgins initially said she put the dress in a plastic bag and kept it under her bed for six months, before washing it and wearing it one last time.
"Untouched, uncleaned," she told the court.
"I just had it there and I wasn't sure, because of all the party political stuff, how I could proceed or if I could proceed without losing my job. So I kept it there.
"It was like this weird anchor for me. Once it was very clear that I couldn't proceed without losing my job … I very symbolically washed it and then I wore it once more."
But later, under cross-examination, Ms Higgins said the final occasion she wore the dress was to a Liberal function in May in Perth.
When Mr Whybrow asked if she had lied about keeping it under her bed for six months, Ms Higgins said she made an error.
"I made a mistake … I was just wrong," she said.
Ms Higgins said she went to Perth to join the election campaign in early April, taking the dress with her. The alleged assault took place in the early hours of March 23.
She told the court she wore the dress to the campaign event to take control of what she said had happened to her.
"Honestly, I think I was reclaiming my agency … It may sound ridiculous to you, but it was kind of an empowerment thing," she said.
Mr Whybrow noted other inconsistencies in Ms Higgins's evidence.
In 2019, Ms Higgins told her then-chief of staff, Fiona Brown, that she was having a panic attack in a bathroom, when she was in fact at a lunch function.
Ms Higgins had also said father came to Canberra to see her, specifically because of the alleged assault, but later acknowledged that he had already planned his trip.
