Note: This story discusses sexual assault and suicide.
More politicians have come forward as having known about a historical rape allegation against a current cabinet minister before it became public last Friday, with Labor MP
Daniel Mulino telling the ABC he was contacted by the alleged victim, a friend of his, in December 2019.
Liberal MP
Celia Hammond was also sent a 31-page dossier outlining the allegations on Wednesday along with the offices of
Scott Morrison, Labor’s
Sarah Hanson-Young and Australian Federal Police Commissioner
Reece Kershaw. Hammond had been asked by Morrison to lead an inquiry into the Liberal party’s workplace culture following separate allegations, although that was later rolled in a broader, independent investigation.
