Defence Minister Linda Reynolds is facing possible legal action for calling Brittany Higgins a “lying cow” in her office if she does not publicly apologise to her former staff member.

“I appreciate that it has been a stressful time but that sort of behaviour and language is never excusable," she said on Thursday.

In a statement on Wednesday evening, Senator Reynolds did not specifically address whether she had used that term in reference to Ms Higgins. "I have consistently respected Ms Higgins's agency and privacy and said this is her story to tell and no one else's. When contacted by SBS News about possible legal action, a spokesperson for Senator Reynolds said:"The Minister has no further comment to the statement issued last night".

It is quite obvious this Minister is incapable of her portfolio and should be replaced. The problem with picking gender first is you are not getting the best person. God help us all if she had to commission our troops to defend the country if she can’t handle an assault.

It's time... time to go Linda

I found Brittney totally unbelievable in her interview and don't think she should be taken as truthful until the evidence is tested. Calling her a Cow is Childish n Rough but a Liar well could be. If she is exposed as a Liar I hope is punished by law too.

This is fkn funny 👇👇👇👇👇

Expect better..please have the good grace to resign.

Fingers crossed! lindareynoldswa can suck a fart. She can apologise all she wants. That attitude isn’t going away though is it.

Coming from a cow, I can’t blame her how she sees the world. Cows ain’t good at judging human beings and that’s why we keep them in cowsheds where Linda Reynolds belongs to.

I’m a liberal voter, but what she did is unacceptable and should be sacked...

Oh FFS 🙄

SBS Brittany Higgins is becoming less of a sympathetic victim as her desired fame grows.

Hope so. It would be interesting to see the validity of the statement tested in court.

Well if it goes to court whoever the public servant who breached the office’s confidentiality will have to be exposed...🤔

..the most tragic part of this story is the ‘atrocity of the language used by the 🇦🇺Minister on her staff’ has gained more momentum to deem legal actions,than the rape case or even the Minister’s ‘nonchalant’ response on matters relating to the welfare of her direct staff 😔

SBS Looks like someone is worried their 15 mins of fame has ran out.

She said that, then she should go whether this lady is being rapped or not. You can’t treat your staff with disrespect.

SBS More crocodile tears

Chris_Murray48 Rotten to the core.

I think she was looking in the mirror when she said that

Hate to have her as my manager 😳

noplaceforsheep if she is sued it had better come out of her own pocket!

Bitches are as bitches do

The shame is that a woman will be a sacrificial offering to the misogynistic LNP. This will not go away (hopefully).

noplaceforsheep I can see another visit to the hospital coming up.

Looks like a 'cat's fight' is in the making it has no friends 'hell has no Fury like a woman Scorned'

Don't give Linda the opportunity, if you have to ask for an apology, it's not an apology. Sue her and make this misogynistic government pay for its actions.

But... but... she apologized to her current staff. Surely that's more important than apologizing to the person she failed to protect and then belittled and denigrated.

Have Brittany's allegations been proven true?

Seriously the apology will mean nothing

Just fabulous

No need to apologies. People are snowflakes these days. Harden up peeps. Bring it.

she was only saying what everyone is thinking, go linda

Reynolds needs to take more leave to gather her strength and her wits. A govt that had good management skills would facilitate this: ten years would do it.

Sue this piece of work.

She was just trying to act like one of the boys

Bring it on & bring her down.
