Brittany Higgins again unavailable in ACT Supreme Court on sixth day of Bruce Lehrmann's trial

Brittany Higgins has been unavailable again to give evidence on the sixth day of Bruce Lehrmann's trial for her alleged rape.

Mr Lehrmann is accused of raping Ms Higgins in a Parliament House office after a drunken night out in March 2019.

Mr Lehrmann has pleaded not guilty to the charges and denies the pair ever had sexual intercourse.

Ms Higgins has not returned to court since she left the witness box on Friday afternoon.

Witnesses have appeared in Ms Higgins's absence, but a suppression order has been placed on what has occurred in court.

The suppression order will remain in place until Ms Higgins returns to finish her cross-examination.
