The AFP have revealed the office of a federal politician was tipped off about Brittney Higgins’ sexual assault allegations years earlier than previously disclosed.
However, a new timeline provided by the federal police suggests then Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton’s office learned of the sexual assault allegation in October 2019.
Mr. Dutton maintains he personally learned of the allegations in February of 2021.
The revelations come after Ms. Higgins said she was saddened to see parliament had failed to implement changes to the policies and procedures for security inside Parliament House.
