Brittany Higgins alleged rape encourages more women to come forward with sexual assault allegations

"Failure to report alleged criminal behaviour in this manner, or choosing to communicate or disseminate allegations via other means, such as through the media or third parties, risks prejudicing any subsequent police investigation," he said.

At least three ministers and many more staff members in Parliament House were aware of Ms Higgins's 2019 allegation of rape before she went public, prompting questions about how they responded and what they knew, and when.

Well following her lead, you have to wait 2 years before reporting the alleged assault. Something is not kosher here.

Why warn about delay in reporting criminal activity from Parliament House? They are still perverting the course of justice all those not coming forward with what they know and saw!

Higgins would do much better to advise women to be accountable, responsible, and relinquish the B.S. that the feminist bit-chair's are feeding you. This is the new way for women. Get with the program!

Women who don't come out immediately after an assault always have some other agenda behind their case. Period. If it's genuine complaint, do it immediately, not when you feel so after years.

Says who?

'Brittany Higgins speaking out about her ordeal encourages more women to come forward with sexual assault allegations. ' There, fixed your title for you.

It was sexual yes, but assault ? Sick of hearing this shit. She’s nothing but a slut working the system.

What about the poor woman that was allegedly raped by a former Labor leader. Sickening mainstream media and Labor covering it up.

I would like to know if the guy got dismissed for being were he shouldn’t be why was Brittany not She was interviewed were she revealed she had been raped. There must have been some support but I feel right questions aren’t asked Who has control of security and cleaning

Key word being alleged

Yes Queen! Destroy the patriarchy

What is the point? Never seen any lnp mp guilty. They are 100% gold.

If it was so serious why didn't she go straight to the police when encouraged to the next day And how about innocent until proven guilty or are common law practices now thrown out the windows

How about we first listen to the accused story before claiming rape!! This has gone from a questionable a 'I got drunk and then had remorseful sex' rape allegation to now he stroked me on the thigh many years ago in a bar. All sounds like metoo garbage.

Meanwhile, the PM is the first of honour at parliament's International Women's Day. No hypocrisy here, surely..?

When did ABCNews journalists in Canberra first hear rumours of sexual assaults in Parliament, or by Morrison govt staffers? Did they know and stay quiet while other women were assaulted? Hard to believe nobody in the press gallery knew before this year.

If the first woman that got assaulted by this guy had gone to the police straight away he could have been stopped from assaulting the other women why did the choose not to report this when it first happened?

Can we get a back ground check on her and her partner?

I’ve told you ALL my boss wanted SEX for my stolen wages and super. Police won’t help, fair work won’t take them to court. I’m here shouting it out. 🇦🇺 I’m right in front of YOU HELP

As predicted, they’ll dropping out of trees for a bite at this one.

I understand that some alleged rape’s involving alcohol, can have very grey areas that can cast reasonable doubt against a conviction... therefore making the legal process risky... but for the media to celebrate this “Hot Story” so much, makes me sick.

A lot of us dads think you are so brave kid and we think the world of you......

Brittany Higgins meets Scott Morrison, says he agreed system let her down over rape allegationFormer Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins says she had a 'robust' discussion with the Prime Minister about the way she was treated in the wake of coming forward with her rape allegation. 'The system' let her down. And by 'system' we mean 'the Liberal Party of which Scotty is Parliamentary Leader' and 'the Government of which Scotty is the Prime Minister' ScottyFromMarketing still does not get it. Ms Higgins had a robust discussion. That implies a disagreement. Ms Higgins was or is a Liberal Party member. If this is the way they treat one of their own, just imagine how they would treat you, others or I. Remember folks he IS the system.

Peter Dutton defends handling of information around Brittany Higgins rape allegationHome Affairs Minister Peter Dutton has defended his decision not to tell the Prime Minister about an alleged sexual assault in Parliament, saying it was a sensitive, operational matter. Blah! Blah! Blah! He's a busy man... What's the point of all this 'who knew when' BS? Who cares when the PM found out about it? It's a police matter - not a matter for the PM.
