My question is to the Prime Minister. Can the Prime Minister confirm that one member of his staff knew about the reported sexual assault of Brittany Higgins two years ago; a second member of his staff said it would be raised with his chief of staff two years ago; a third member of his staff knew the alleged perpetrator had been dismissed two years ago; a fourth member of his staff checked in with Ms Higgins after Four Corners last year; and his office dealt with journalists on 12 February, and yet the Prime Minister still says he had no idea about anything until the story broke last Monday?
