Brit Higgins and David Sharaz “conceived a plan to the last detail” to damage Linda Reynolds, page-128

Now for my two bob's worth!
Two office staff have a pissy night.
A 24 yo female gets really drunk and wakes up in bosses office, naked.
Not sure how she ended up there and tries to remember last nights events!
She gets worried about the ramifications of the security breach and reports an issue.
Not sure of the outcome, she keeps a lid on it until she can see the ramifications.
She hooks up with an opportunist {Shiraz}, 2 years later who sees this as an opportunity to hurt a sitting government.
Shiraz creates a scandal with the mean girls and use Brittany as a pawn.
Brittany gets coached on how to be a victim and Linda Reynolds becomes a scapegoat,
Who has denigrated Brittany Higgins more, BL or Shiraz with the aid of the mean girls.
I say the latter!
