So, it has been stated by many on here and in the LNP......
No one knew until the other day........ Let's have a look at a couple of items...........
.
There is also scrutiny about how the Prime Minister’s office is handling Brittany Higgins’ explosive sexual assault allegations, amid claims Morrison government staff “backgrounded” journalists with information critical of Ms Higgins’ current partner.
.
Senator Reynolds has known about the alleged rape for more than two years but PM Scott Morrison maintains he was not informed until this week. Employment Minister Michaelia Cash admitted on Wednesday she had known the details for at least two weeks, and knew of a serious incident involving Ms Higgins as long ago as October 2019.But scrutiny has exploded after claims inside the parliamentary press gallery that staff from Mr Morrison’s office had briefed media with claims to “undermine” Ms Higgins’ current partner. Network 10’s Peter van Onselen first made that allegation on ABC radio on Thursday morning, and it was followed by a story in The Guardian.
“The Prime Minister’s office has been backgrounding that her partner, her now partner, has a vendetta, or a gripe might be the better way to put it, against the government because of him being a former public servant,” Van Onselen said.
Mr Morrison also remains under scrutiny for what he knew about the allegations, as at least two of his staff were involved in handling Ms Higgins’ complaint.
Mr Morrison maintains his office knew nothing of the claims until it received a media inquiry last Friday afternoon, and that he personally didn’t know until Monday morning, when the story broke online.
In Mr Morrison’s timeline, that means nobody in his well-staffed press office told him about the potential tsunami of a story in the two-and-a-half days between Friday afternoon and Monday morning.

The old crystal ball tells me Morrisons next move will be a memo to all blue ties...... "If you are seen to be in touch with anyone with an anti LNP group (such as Channel 10), you will be removed from your employment"....... My thoughts only
