PORTER BACKPEDALS
A spokesman for Christian Porter has conceded to
news.com.au that while the attorney-general does not recall any contact with his accuser after a debating contest weekend in 1988, “if there is some information that there was some form of contact in the early 1990’s, that is not impossible and it’s not a case of disputing that possibility.”
Porter told reporters during his denial of historical rape allegations on Wednesday that he had never met his accuser again, however the woman’s unsworn affidavit alleges they had dinner in Perth in 1994.
Separately, the woman’s family has released a statement issuing support for “any inquiry” that would shed light on her death, whether it be a coronial inquest or independent investigation.
