My question is to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister says he learned of Brittany Higgins's reported sexual assault on 15 February, but staff in his office knew about it two years earlier. The defence minister says he learned of Ms Higgins's reported sexual assault on 11 February, but it has been revealed his office knew about it for 15 months. Does the Prime Minister really expect Australians to believe that both the Prime Minister's office and the now defence minister's office knew about the alleged sexual assault for years and didn't tell their bosses?
