Brittany Higgins has hit out at the federal government amid claims it there is an unofficial government briefing against her. Ms Higgins, a former Liberal staffer who recently alleged she was raped at parliament house, spoke out after Network Ten political editor Peter van Onselen made the startling claim this morning. Mr van Onselen alleged that the prime minister s office was backgrounding journalists to smear her partner, a former public servant, saying he has a gripe against the government. Ms Higgins told Guardian Australia that going public with her story would have consequences. I knew personally that when I decided to put my name and face to this there would be repercussions for me, Ms Higgins told Guardian Australia. But I think it s unfair if they are starting to try and take this out on loved ones .
