My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Birmingham. In 2019 when answering a question on women and the reporting of rape, Mr Morrison said:

One of the things that often happens with that is they're not believed, and their stories are not believed and it's important that their stories are believed and that they know that if they come forward their stories will be believed.

When deciding whether the Attorney-General was a fit and proper person to remain in his role, why did the Prime Minister listen to the Attorney-General but not bother to read the alleged victim's own words?
