It’s been revealed by The Australian that Defense Minister Linda Reynolds called rape victim Brittany Higgins a lying cow on the day she went public with her rape allegations.
Prime Minster Scott Morrison appears to be standing by his Defense Minster and said she deeply regrets comments made about Brittany Higgins.
“The comments made by Minister Reynolds are incredibly hurtful,”
“I appreciate that it has been a stressful time but that sort of behaviour and language is never excusable.
“It’s just further evidence of the toxic workplace culture that exists behind closed doors in Parliament House.”
STATEMENT MADE BY MS HIGGINS
It’s just unthinkable a woman in Linda Reynolds position could make such awful comments and keep her position as Defense Minister there just seems to be no personal accountability in politics.
Scott Morrison has no choice to stand by his ministers no matter what as his government struggles to hold a workable majority in parliament.
