\u201cThe men of this government are still following the rules of the \u2018boys club\u2019, covering for each other instead of speaking out about what they knew about an alleged rape in parliament house and allegations of serial sexual harassment by a government staffer in Craig Kelly\u2019s office.” said Senator Larissa Waters, Greens Leader in the Senate and Spokesperson on Women.
\n\u201cThe PM has admitted he knew for some time about staff issues in Kelly\u2019s office. Did the Prime Minister know about Mr Kelly\u2019s alleged serial sexual harasser office manager and the failure to deal with him when he saved Kelly\u2019s preselection in 2019?
\n“The PM has form in either ignoring sexual abuse or having a \u2018don\u2019t ask don\u2019t tell\u2019 approach – either of which make him complicit in leading a party and a culture which is toxic and unsafe for women.
\n\u201cThe news today that yet another senior government minister may have been informed by the AFP about an alleged rape metres from the PM’s office will do nothing to quell the brewing anger of women in Parliament House and across the country.
\n\u201cPeter Dutton must fess up \u2013 what did you know about Brittany Higgins\u2019 case, when did you find out and did you inform the PM?
\n\u201cMr Dutton should take his own advice, if you\u2019ve got nothing to hide, you\u2019ve got nothing to fear.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
