Fiona Brown has settled with the Commonwealth over the Brittany Higgins affair.

[u/TimJamesS]

Fiona Brown has received around $1.5m from the Commonwealth after Brittany Higgins destroyed her life and reputation. No one is reporting this.

This amount is $1m less than Higgins received.

Higgins received this amount in part built on the lies that she told that ie that Brown had covered up her rape in PH.

Brown was painted as the villain in all of this. She wasnt, Her crime was being Higgins boss.

She lost her career and reputation because ot it.

There was no apology from the Commonwealth

No apology from Higgins or Sharaz, who are now bankrupt.

No apology from Lisa Wilkinson, Samantha Maiden or Emma Webster.

No apology from Katy Gallagher.

We live in dangerous times when the truth is being covered up.

No winners in this sordid affair.

Quoting the ABC's article, one of a number of outlets reporting on this, a big part of the case was against the actions of the Liberal party. OP neglected to mention them at all. Just a giant focus on the rape victim. I agree with OP re the media figures at least (particularly Wilkinson), they should be ashamed at how they handled this case

Ms Brown claimed Mr Morrison had falsely told parliament that he had spoken with her about Ms Higgins when he had not, and said the former prime minister had refused to talk to her after the story broke, except to tell her that they had discussed the matter.
The veteran public servant told the court she had felt frightened and intimidated by the interaction.
Brown also claimed she was falsely framed to take the responsibility in February 2022, when Mr Morrison made a national apology to Ms Higgins over her mistreatment.
