Episode description

On Tuesday Prime Minister Scott Morrison formally apologised to all those who have experienced sexual harassment, assault or bullying while working in federal parliament. 

During his speech he directly addressed former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins, whose advocacy initiated the review that led to Morrison’s apology.

The very next day, Brittany Higgins, alongside former Australian of the Year Grace Tame delivered an explosive address to the National Press Club - questioning just how seriously we should take the Prime Minister’s words - and whether they will translate into action. 

Today, contributing editor to The Monthly Rachel Withers on why Scott Morrison’s apology might be too little, too late.
