My question is to the Prime Minister. I again refer to his previous answer. Is the Prime Minister's refusal to answer the question whether he asked his staff if they sought to undermine Brittany Higgins' loved ones because the answer is yes? Prime Minister, is it true your staff sought to undermine Ms Higgins' loved ones?

I reject the assertions made by the member in the way the question was framed. As I have consistently said, there's no information before me to suggest any of these things have occurred.
