My question is to the Prime Minister. Why did the report prepared by the Prime Minister's chief of staff blame journalists for smearing Brittany Higgins loved ones? Does he seriously expect this House to believe journalists, not his own office, were at fault? Why won't the Prime Minister ever accept responsibility?

The report from my chief of staff was tabled yesterday, and I don't expect the way that was represented by the member in asking that question.
