Brittany Higgins’ partner has been forced to abandon his job over fears he will be frozen out by ministers as payback for the crisis now engulfing the government.

Higgins’ partner, David Sharaz, says his job in Canberra, where he handled federal government clients for a media analytics company, is no longer tenable.

His resignation is yet another sign of the way that parliament’s power dynamics can work to discourage the reporting of sexual assault.
