Follow Daily Mail Australia's live coverage of Bruce Lehrmann's defamation case, which was reopened on Tuesday night following explosive new evidence from a former Channel Seven employee.

 

Taylor Auerbach smashes a set of golf clubs belonging to his former Channel Seven colleague

An ex-Channel Seven producer has filmed himself smashing a set of golf clubs belonging to his former colleague, before sharing the video with his Instagram followers.

Taylor Auerbach, 32, has accused Mr Lehrmann of leaking confidential documents to Seven, including Brittany Higgins' private texts, security footage, and audio clips - all initially obtained by police during the investigation into Ms Higgins' rape allegations.

His claims traversed three affidavits, about 2000 pages in total, and contained enough evidence for Justice Michael Lee to reopen Mr Lehrmann's defamation case against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson on Tuesday evening.

Mr Auerbach, who worked with Mr Lehrmann on Seven's Spotlight program before he left the network late last year, will give evidence in the Federal Court on Thursday afternoon.

Now, a video has emerged showing Mr Auerbach smiling broadly while destroying a set of golf clubs belonging to another former Spotlight producer, Steve Jackson.

The video, which appeared to have been filmed in a basement towards the end of last year, began with Mr Auerbach waving happily at the camera.

He stared directly into the lens and snapped one club over his knee, holding the broken stick triumphantly in front of the camera before throwing it to the ground.
