More than 26,000 people tuned in to the live stream of Former Seven Network producer Taylor Auerbach giving evidence in the reopened trial yesterday. 

Mr Auerbach returns to the witness stand later this morning after outlining how he acted on behalf of the network to entice Mr Lehrmann into an exclusive interview. In the Federal Court, he alleged illicit drugs, sex workers and expensive meals were paid for by his former employer in their pursuit.
