Full Katy Gallagher/Brittany Higgins leaked text analysis with Anika Wells MP | Insiders | ABC News

The Opposition spent much of the week pursuing what it reckons is the first integrity scandal to hit the government. It claims Finance Minister Katy Gallagher misled parliament when she denied any prior knowledge of the Brittany Higgins rape allegation before it was made public. Yesterday, the Minister admitted she was aware of some allegations, but denies misleading parliament. And Labor isn't sounding too troubled about the political heat over this. But when it comes to the pressure building on households and the growing fears of a recession - that's another matter. The government is clearly worried. The Treasurer says the latest interest rate hike will be difficult to cop. And there's a clear divergence now between the Reserve Bank and the government over whether wage increases are making it harder to bring down inflation. David Speers interviews Aged Care Minister Anika Wells about a proposed overhaul of the aged sector. Samantha Maiden, Jacob Greber, and Lenore Taylor discuss the issues of the week. Mike Bowers talks the week in pictures with Anthony Lehmann. Subscribe: ab.co/3yqPOZ5
