Calls are growing for a cabinet minister to resign over a historic rape allegation dating back to 1988 - as the alleged victim s friend slams the ABC for its coverage of her claims.
A letter from a mystery sender containing a detailed statement from the alleged victim was sent to Scott Morrison and two South Australian senators last week.
The woman, who died by suicide in Adelaide last year, claimed she was raped by the man at an event in Sydney when she was 16.
The ministerial code of conduct requires a minister to stand aside if charged with a crime.
Senator says ‘crisis of integrity’ hangs over government while minister remains in post, as legal experts say prosecution possible despite alleged victim’s death
The Prime Minister got a letter from a mystery sender on Wednesday evening which included a statement the alleged victim had prepared for her lawyers in 2019.
