After days of sustained pressure over how she handled the alleged rape of one of her staff, Defence Minister Linda Reynolds wiped away tears and was unable to answer questions in the Senate.

Defence Minister Linda Reynolds says she is "deeply sorry" for adding to Brittany Higgins's distress.  Ms Higgins had previously said she felt unsupported by her then-boss Ms Reynolds, and criticised Prime Minister Scott Morrison for "victim-blaming".
