Brittany Higgins has alleged she was sexually assaulted by a male colleague inside Parliament House in 2019. In February 2021, Ms Higgins re-engaged with the Australian Federal Police to proceed with a formal complaint about her alleged rape in Parliament House. What do you think LiveTribers? Has Ms Higgins kept it too late to formally complain? Will justice be served? Has the Prime Minister done the right thing by promoting more females to senior cabinet roles?

And why hasn't the perpetrator of this crime been charged? After all the 'news' has been years in the making? Can't help but wonder - just saying!
For goodness sake, if Higgins was raped, why didn't she go straight to the authorities. Nothing to do with 'keeping her job'. Agree with ERE Re Morrison, promoting more females to cabinet.
Toxic misogynistic culture is pervasive in society, or at least pockets of it, unfortunately. What happened to Brittany Higgins is appalling, and I hope she finds justice
While Ms Higgins may or may not have been raped she must have realised that her actions on the night are partly to blame. For this she must take some responsibility. That does not condone the alleged rape, if it did occur. The length of time since the alleged incident and the reporting of it does mean that her memories of what happened may no longer be 100% accurate. Re: Scott Morrison promoting more females to senior cabinet roles. He's only doing this for votes. A person should be promoted on their abilities not on if they are male or female.
Agree with your comment re getting more votes. This is exactly why Labor have used quotas. Unfortunately there are too many 'do-gooders' in the community that demand these sort of actions and also, unfortunately, they regularly get their way because of the 'news' media (largely the ABC) and Social media such.
Whilst rape is an awful thing to have to go through, one must wonder about a young woman heading to a night club with her work colleague after work on a Friday night, returning back to work (Parliament House) at 2am the next morning with said colleague, going to her bosses office and then being allegedly raped. What on earth happened to good old fashioned common sense? what about decency? Has the human race lost it's mind? And by human race I mean both women and men. We are no longer held accountable for our actions and I think a lack of accountability is the real crime here.
The culture is no more or less toxic than it was in 1901. Politicians reflect society......and we put them there!!!
