Senator REYNOLDS (Western Australia—Minister for Defence) (14:43): I will refer back to my previous answer. At all times I took my counsel from Brittany Higgins, in terms of making sure she had the right support— The PRESIDENT: Order! Senator Wong, on a point of order? Senator Wong: On direct relevance: the question, before we get to the justification, was whether or not the minister had disclosed the fact of the alleged rape to any of the Prime Minister's staff. I would ask the minister to return to that question. The PRESIDENT: Senator Wong, you have restated the first part of the question. I believe the minister was being directly relevant with the answer, and she has concluded her answer. Senator McCarthy, a final supplementary question?
