Former Australian foreign minister unspeakably sad about parliament rape allegations - World News

2021-03-07 04:05:08 GMT2021-03-07 12:05:08(Beijing Time) Xinhua English CANBERRA, March 7 (Xinhua) Former Australian Foreign Minister Julie Bishop has urged the government to introduce independent counselling for parliamentary staff amid claims of mistreatment of women. Bishop, who served as the minister for Foreign Affairs from 2013 to 2018, said she was unspeakably sad about allegations of sexual assault in the Parliament, local media reported. Brittany Higgins, a former government staffer, in February went public with allegations that she was raped by a colleague in the office of Defence Minister Linda Reynolds in 2019. Attorney-General Christian Porter is recently under pressure to resign after he was identified as the government minister accused of raping a 16-year-old girl in 1988, allegations that he has strenuously denied.
