Linda Reynolds' interview with The Oz contradicts her official statement at the time.

Reynolds recollection of events is that it was "...prior to one question time..."

It was well prior, Reynolds did not attend the Senate at all that day.

She refers to not knowing whether she attended QT or not.

Her official statement at the time said she was admitted to Canberra Hospital in the morning.

Question Time is on in the afternoon

QT started at 2pm on 24 Feb 2021

In the Oz interview Linda Reynolds said "...we went down there and we couldn't get in."

Yet her official statement at the time said she WAS admitted to Canberra Hospital in the morning.

This statement was widely reported at the time

YouTube vid of Senate 24 Feb 2021 proving Reynolds did not attend the Senate at all that day.

The President took the chair at 9:30am.

The day before in Question Time on 23 Feb 2021 Reynolds was questioned at length by the Opposition about Brittany Higgins.

Reynolds appeared quite well at this QT.

Which refutes the thing about Greg Hunt noticing that she was unwell

Linda Reynolds was supposed to appear at Press Club #NPC at 12:30pm 24/2/21 well prior to Question Time

Laura Tingle tweeted Reynolds pulled out of her address at 8:26am

So, why is Reynolds trying to frame the narrative around QT?
