The fallout from the Brittany Higgins scandal

Australia was shocked this week to learn a parliamentary staffer had been allegedly sexually assaulted in a minister’s office in parliament house in Canberra.

We’re joined by the award-winning ABC journalist and host of the 4 Corners expose, the Canberra Bubble, Louise Milligan, who says she wasn’t surprised to learn of the allegations.

Why is parliament house toxic? Why do women in politics tolerate boorish and abusive behaviour? Does the Prime Minister have the power to reform the parliament once and for all?
