Opposition Leader Peter Dutton says he’s aware of a third allegation of misconduct against the Liberal senator.
Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has called for David Van to resign from parliament after revealing he was aware of a third allegation of misconduct against the Liberal senator.
On Thursday, Thorpe told the Senate an unnamed man had cornered her in a stairwell, and alleged that during her time in parliament she had been “aggressively propositioned and inappropriately touched”. On Friday morning, Van released a statement saying he was “stunned that my good reputation can be so wantonly savaged without due process or accountability”.
