Sydney, Australia, Mar 5 (efe-epa).- Australia’s government announced Friday an investigation into parliamentary work culture after a former adviser of the ruling Liberal Party said she was raped by a co-worker inside the premises in 2019.
Senator Simon Birmingham said the investigation would be led by Kate Jenkins, sexual discrimination commissioner, who will deliver her final report in November with recommendations to change practices and parliamentary work culture.
“The Parliament of Australia must set the example to follow … it must reflect best practices for preventing and responding to any level of intimidation, sexual harassment or sexual assault,” Birmingham told reporters in Adelaide.
