As for the Gaetjens inquiry, the reason we have never seen this report is because it was never completed and the reason for that, as Albanese well knows, is because it was suspended on legal advice it could prejudice the outcome of Bruce Lehrmann’s trial and because the ACT DPP Shane Drumgold had advised Higgins not to participate in it.
Oh, and the reason Gaetjens hasn’t gotten around to completing it is because he isn’t the Secretary of the Dept of PM&C anymore because, one of the first things Anthony Albanese did upon becoming Prime Minister last May, was to sack him.
Also, the Liberals sacked the alleged perpetrator, not the complainant. IIRC she resigned

And if you believe the report wasn’t completed by the partisan Gaetjens then I have a used car to sell you. Campbell is a liberal party supporter married to the failed candidate who lost in the most recent by election. The Morrison government interviewed heaps of their own insiders.

Not half as grubby as Higgins was treated and continues to be treated by the Liberal Party. The treatment at the time was appalling by Morrison, Reynolds and Michaela Cash.

Get real
So if anything bad ever happens to you and you decide to talk about it publicly, your private communications become fair game? Interesting.
So where is the line? Assange and others distribute confidential info, in the public interest and get hailed as heros despite being charged. This one decides to do an interview for TV and try to weaponise a political party over an alleged incident that happened (12 months?) earlier and her texts get released.
I personally don't like either, but is one right and one wrong?
Every dead body on Mt Everest was once a highly motivated person, so maybe just calm the **** down.
Bernard Keane the Political Editor of Crikey nails it again this time in relation to Brittany Higgins, the Liberal Party under Morrison especially and the right wing press owned by that American:
she didn't deserve to have them leaked. no one does, its privileged information, but it's out there, and its shit. I always tell my kids don't put in writing anything you might regret one day!
speaking of privileged information, you don't get to pick and choose. Stuff Assange! If he had found good information, would he have sold it? no because there is no market for it!
You cant fix stupid, turns out you cant quarantine it either!
