The fallout from Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins’ Press Club address

Grace Tame and Brittany Higgins addressed the National Press Club in Canberra yesterday to highlight the plight of victims of sexual assault.

Amy Remeikis, the Guardian’s federal political correspondent, joins us to talk through the fallout from the address.  Scott Morrison apologised in Parliament this week…..was it enough to stem the fallout from the scandal that has rocked the seat of government in Australia?

 

With a federal election just around the corner, it will be interesting to see how Scott Morrison and the Coalition manages the fallout – and will it impact how people vote come election day?
