Australian PM meets with former govt employee who alleges rape in Parliament House Reuters 8 hrs ago By Colin Packham CANBERRA, April 30 (Reuters) - Prime Minister Scott Morrison met on Friday with a former government staffer who alleges she was raped by an unnamed male colleague while working in parliament, as Australia's government faces mounting public anger over its handling of the complaint. Brittany Higgins, who filed a police complaint in March over the alleged rape in 2019, described the meeting as "difficult", while Morrison said he was pleased to hear her views on how to make parliament a safer workplace. Morrison has struggled to placate public anger amid several allegations of sexual abuse, discrimination against women and misconduct in parliament in recent months.
