Australian prime minister Scott Morrison says his office has received confidential information about alleged backgrounding against Brittany Higgins after she made a formal complaint to the PM’s chief of staff, John Kunkel. Higgins has asked the prime minister’s office to examine whether government staff have backgrounded against her or her loved ones. Morrison was asked about the complaint by Labor’s Catherine King in question time. ‘I have seen and received that correspondence and I will be responding to Brittany Higgins in the course of today,’ he said. ‘My chief of staff received confidential information, not the matter the member is referring to, but confidential information from a primary and direct source regarding these matters.’
