My question is to the Prime Minister. Today Brittany Higgins said:

I watched as the Prime Minister of Australia publicly apologised to me through the media, while privately his media team actively undermined and discredited my loved ones.

Prime Minister, is this true?

I've no knowledge of that and I would never instruct that. I would never instruct such a thing. I would never do that. The apology that I offered in this place to Brittany Higgins was sincere and was genuine, and I'm happy to restate it.
