As I said yesterday:



“Strongly suspect” is too strong a phrase in retrospect, but I’d give it a good possibility.

For any of us who have drunk to excess to the point of alcohol poisoning knows that staying still and vomiting are practically your only two options.

She was up and texting Dillaway at 8.15am. Even at 7pm that night she said to him that her hangover was "Pretty rough".

Higgins claimed that she vomited in Reynolds’ office and there is no reason to disbelieve her. The cleaner Ramos said the bathroom looked like it hadn't been used, but that doesn't mean anything other than Higgins likely cleaned up after herself well.

She was in there for 8.5 hours overall, which is one of the more peculiar aspects of the case. Hard to say what you, I or anyone else would have done in the same situation without being in the exact same shoes.

I imagine she couldn't find a window between nausea / vomiting and couldn't guarantee she wouldn't be sick in the Uber. Personally, I'd have GTFO of there at first opportunity, as I could have recovered in a park (it was a warm night) before finding a ride, but then I'm a 95kg bloke and not a skinny female in a white cocktail dress wearing heels who might be entering a second 'lion's den' in terms of personal safety.

I’m just really surprised they didn’t have an inkling that if B was lying there for 8 and a half and unable to get up from alcohol poisoning that maybe she was unable to have consensual sex and no one made it to PH before she left.
The security manager was surprised security were told not to report it to the AFP. I could maybe understand if they wanted to talk to B first but this didn’t happen because they got there 5 mins after B had left.

It could have been kept real discreet and a doctor called to go in and check on her.

As if they don't have a doctor somewhere around anyway they can call on for a house visit.

Exactly.

This stuff about hindsight is just errant nonsense.

We are talking about 2019 here not 1969 and leaving a young woman heavily intoxicated and 'passed out' alone on a couch for hours in the early morning hours in a workplace doesn't meet the most basic of OH&S rules, let alone what should be expected of trained security guards in the Federal Parliament House.

She had alcohol poisoning?? Who diagnosed this?

Exactly, who would know why B couldn’t get herself up, dressed and home for all that time.
Could have had internal injuries for all anyone knew.
