DID SCOTTY KNOW? According to Scott Morrison’s claim that no one in his office knew about Brittany Higgins’ alleged rape has been undermined by newly-released text messages revealing one of his staffers was “mortified” by the story and pledged to bring the allegations to the prime minister’s chief of staff. The April 3, 2019 text came 11 days after the alleged incident and, reportedly, were due to a friend’s connection with the Prime Minister’s Office after Higgins confided she had received “jack-shit” support from the Liberal party. The news comes after Linda Reynolds delivered an apology to Parliament alleging she did not pass on details of the allegations to Morrison out of concern for Higgins’ welfare and privacy.
