Britney Higgins In 2019, Defense Minister staffer Brittany Higgins was allegedly raped in an office in Parliament house. Scott Morrison needed to have this explained to him by his wife.

Ricky Muir from the Motoring Enthusiast Party Joins AHP to discuss the double dissolution election, his Adler video that went viral, his stance on fishing and recreational hunting, self defence, and why you should vote for Ricky Muir at the 2016 election.
The Australian Motoring Enthusiast Party's Ricky Muir this week made an unsuccessful last roll of the dice to try to delay the government's Senate voting reform legislation. The bill will prevent almost all “micro” players being elected to the Senate, and facilitate the government driving out most of the current bunch if it holds a double-dissolution election. But Muir tells Michelle Grattan the reforms have not been properly scrutinised and the process to approve them has been a sham. While he acknowledged the need for some reform, he believes the government is scapegoating him for being elected on 0.51% of the primary vote. “Do I appreciate that some kind of changes could happen? Absolutely. But it needs to be a long, thought-out, thorough process with proper public consultation,” he says. Muir, who was reticent about speaking out in public in his first months in the Senate, is now fiesty. He is taking a high-profile and ready to fight for his political reputation at the election.
The Motoring Enthusiast Parties Ricky Muir joins AHP to talk firearms, hunting, shooting, his dads Ruger 10/22, and how he plans to make sure shooters are represented under the NFA review.
