Who knew about the reported assault of Brittany Higgins just metres away from the Prime Minister's office and when did they know? Why has the Gaetjens report not been treated with the urgency it deserves? Why a year on can the Prime Minister still not answer that question? Why did the Deputy Prime Minister in a text call the Prime Minister a liar in the same week he denied any knowledge of the alleged sexual assault that happened in our own workplace? Why did the Prime Minister refuse to release internal documents requested through the FOI process regarding the alleged rape of Brittany Higgins? Why did he give domestic and gendered violence advocates a measly two weeks to map out the next 10 years of the fight against gendered violence in Australia? Why do we still have to ask these questions a year on?
