00:00I acknowledge Luke's public apology to me today, including his clear statement that I was not
00:07responsible for posting an explicit image on his ex-account. This brings to a close a painful and
00:16difficult chapter that began through extraordinary claims made about me that were accepted without
00:24challenge by powerful institutions and powerful people. I commenced these proceedings to establish
00:33the truth, clearly and finally. With Luke's apology today, I feel I have achieved what I set out to do.
00:46I have been overwhelmed by the support of so many women and others, including many whose
00:54reputations have been treated as expendable. I wish to thank those people who reached out
01:02to me in solidarity and hope today's outcome gives some strength to you all and to others
01:10who may find themselves subjected to circumstances where they too have to stand up and insist that the
01:19truth be recognised. I now intend to move forward with my life with dignity.
