My question is to the Prime Minister. Brittany Higgins was, reportedly, sexually assaulted in the defence minister's office almost two years ago. The Prime Minister said just here that his office was not informed about this until just weeks ago. Is it acceptable that the defence minister was aware that a reported serious crime had been committed in her office but did not inform the Prime Minister or his office?

It is not, and it shouldn't happen again.
