What Brittany Higgins started - a podcast by ABC Radio

Australia has been transfixed by the story of Brittany Higgins for almost a fortnight.

The former political staffer alleges she was raped in a minister's office inside Parliament House in 2019, and has now filed a formal complaint with police.

More allegations from other women against the man she named have followed, along with ongoing rounds of recriminations about how badly the case was handled, all giving rise to the clear impression that something is very wrong in Parliament House.

So is anything going to change?

Today on The Signal, we look into the case that might just trigger some desperately needed reform for women in Australian politics.
