Former defence minister and now minister for the NDIS, Linda Reynolds, has claimed that questioning from Labor over the Brittany Higgins rape allegation led to her being admitted to hospital. Senator Reynolds had previously said she was hospitalised for a pre-existing cardiac condition. ‘So, you’re the victim, not Ms Higgins?’ Labor senator Penny Wong asked after Reynolds made the claim in Senate estimates. Wong said Labor had been forced to continue the questioning because ‘key factual errors’ have not been explained. ‘Don’t blame us for the fact that we were required to ask you questions because of your failure to be upfront and transparent about key facts,’ Wong said
