The Morrison Government will be judged on how it handles this latest scandal

Prime Minister Scott Morrison says a Cabinet Minister named in an anonymous letter alleging the rape of a woman in the 1980s "absolutely rejects" the allegation. The letter, sent to several members of Parliament alleges the woman was raped in 1988 by a man who is now a minister in the Federal Government. How the Morrison Government chooses to handle the complaint will go to the heart of trust, transparency and integrity in the nation's institutions.
