The Border Mail reports Sophie Mirabella broke down in tears today at the Wangaratta County Court and said “thank you” to the jury after they found a Benalla Ensign story stating Mirabella pushed Cathy McGowan defamatory.
The Benalla Ensign’s defence was Mrs Mirabella pushed Minister Ken Wyatt.
“It doesn’t matter, we suggest to you, the article refers to Cathy McGowan personally,” Mr Gilbertson said.
