Defence Minister Linda Reynolds has apologised for calling Brittany Higgins a"lying cow", after the former Liberal staffer threatened possible legal action over the remarks.
In a statement on Friday, Senator Reynolds said she intended to issue an apology to Ms Higgins and expressed remorse for the comments. In the legal letter, sent to Senator Reynolds, Ms Giles described the remarks as a “distasteful character assassination”. “You are also aware that this distasteful character assassination of our client has been republished widely causing her immense hurt and distress.” How Australian politics has been shaken to the core in the wake of Brittany Higgins' rape allegation
She needs to go. It is more than apology. It is a mind set that politicians can say anything without repercussions
Very poor form
The true story here is not what she called her but why she chose to refer to her like that. Devil is in the detail. As is the story.
Trying to avert a suit. Step down, out and away.
Yes people are angry at her. But what about the attorney general? A diversion
Was she looking in the mirror when she wrote this fiction?
It was a bit muffled by the oxygen mask but you definitely hear 'sloly u wont sew mee cow' 😄😃😉
To who. Have t seen an apolgy directly to Ms Higgins yet.
Showing true colours are we?
Now lets be clear, did Christian Porter allegedly rape Brittany Higgins on Linda Reynolds Defence office desk, because that is what is at stake here isnt it? And what are the 30 year old allegations?
Is she a lying cow?
This government is full of toxic people, the states not much better
“Morrison describedReynolds' remarks as “offensive', saying he did not condone them.” Whats it take to sack ministers THE PEOPLES REPRESENTATIVES when they just mouth off like this. What does it say about her mental state,What does it say about her ability to hold her position?
Great, now she should become a major Change Leader in Parliament & in the Liberal Party and support inquiry into AGs suitability.
The question I think the media should be coming clean on is, who leaked to the media and why. SOME NASTY LITTLE LEFTY LOOKING FOR POINTS FROM WITHIN CANBERRA
Linda is a fat piggy
Such quality leader in the cabinet. As a woman I expect her to show some empathy & compassion. Say nothing if you have nothing to say, just shut up. Higgins should not bow to her apologies.
Her apology is financially driven, not through any genuine act of humility. Most people including the victim will treat it as such.
'I'm so, so, so sorry I got caught!'
I would of been asking for a public apology in front of the media to my face, and still proceed with court action.
Boo hiss lindareynoldswa. Get lost!
Start by resigning you’re seat in parliament, then face the music in court.
Oh NOW you’re sorry.
She is only sorry it was made public.

Nope! No. You need to resign. That's your apology. Everything other than that is horseshit.

She may be sorry, but frankly such comments go to the heart of her attitude to both the complainant and the complaint. lindareynoldswa is unfit to be a Senator and should resign.
This is the LNP all over. Their first instinct is to look after their own Careers & Party, before the needs of the people. EVERY TIME!!!! - Even when it's as serious as this, all morality goes out the window and it's blame the victim. Auspol
“Deeply sorry”. Lying cow.
So spontaneous and sincere... 🤢🤮 lindareynoldswa WA produces some pretty interesting Liberals... cporterwa
