My question is to the Prime Minister. Yesterday I asked the Prime Minister if Brittany Higgins was right to say that the Prime Minister's office was briefing against her loved ones. The Prime Minister said, 'I would never do that,' and, 'I've no knowledge of that …' Twenty-four hours later, has the Prime Minister asked his office if what Ms Brittany Higgins said is true?

Scott Morrison

Scott Morrison Cook, Liberal Party, Prime Minister

I refer the same answer I gave yesterday.
