Scott Morrison has moved to clarify his apology to Brittany Higgins following concerns it could affect the trial of the man charged with her alleged rape, stating it was “by no means a reflection on the matters before a court”.
The prime minister on Tuesday apologised in parliament to Higgins for the “terrible things that took place” during her time working in Canberra. That prompted a rebuke from Warwick Korn, the lawyer representing the man accused of her rape, Bruce Lehrmann.
