Given Rupert is likely to be dead in 5 years will that solve people's concerns with Murdoch Media?
That's for sure, from my student politics days, there were two things that all sides agreed on, grog was good, bonking was good and both together was better.
Not if Lachlan replaces him. However I do wonder if Lachlan has his fathers intelligence.
PM 'upset' to learn of second rape claim against man accused by Brittany Higgins
Prime Minister Scott Morrison says he is "upset" to read reports that a second woman was allegedly raped by the same man accused of sexually assaulting former Liberals staffer Brittany Higgins.
www.abc.net.au
"She has told the newspaper she has come forward to help Ms Higgins shine a light on the culture in Federal Parliament, and suggested her assault may never have happened if Ms Higgins had been properly supported in 2019."
You can imagine the goings-on in the Liberal with the alleged rape of Ms Higgins just before the election. The Prime Ministers office would have to have been made aware of the allegation. As per normal, everyone in the PMO would've know except the Prime Minister

He definitely knew. He made a slip up on the date it was reported to the PMOs office, he started to say the actual date rather than the recent date.
No, he said April 4th and then sat down. Then he realised what he said, stood up and said "no, February 12th"
I know someone who was an industry lobbyist in Canberra for many years flying in from Melbourne on a constant basis.
His comment to me a few years ago was that it should be called Bonkerra because of the amount of “extra curricular” activity going on. Remember that a lot of the people working in Canberra live elsewhere.
There was or is definitely a culture of what happens in Canberra stays in Canberra.

Depends on the circumstances.
in many cases it is about a very powerful man exercising it over a much less powerful woman.
That’s not ok
as long as they are consenting adults, there are no power imbalances, and they are politicians preaching family values while having affairs on the side, it is not a problem.
There are power imbalances.
The young woman who says yes to her much more powerful boss only because she is worried about her career prospects or maybe even losing her job?
Is that illegal, probably not, you can argue that they are consenting adults. But it is sexual harassment and it is a use of power for sex.
It of course happens in a lot of places not just Canberra.
