Brittany Higgins has issued a statement through her instagram responding to the Tottle judgement:

I am grateful that this matter has finally reached a conclusion.

I was 24 years old when I was sexually assaulted in Parliament House.

Six years have passed – years marked by challenge, scrutiny, and change.

I accept that Linda Reynolds feelings were hurt by these events and I am sorry for that. I wish her well into the future.

Thank you to the Australian public for their compassion and understanding throughout the journey.

My family and I now look forward to healing and re-building our lives.
