    Defence Minister Linda Reynolds has apologised for calling alleged rape victim Brittany Higgins a 'lying cow'.

    Senator Reynolds made the tasteless comments in her office area within earshot of several staff members and public servants on February 15. 

    It was the same day Miss Higgins went public with allegations a senior colleague raped her in Senator Reynolds' Parliament House office after a night out in March, 2019.  

    Miss Higgins threatened to sue over the 'hurtful' comment on Thursday unless the minister, who is on stress leave, apologised.
