The lawyer who represented the woman at the centre of a historical rape allegation against Christian Porter says an independent inquiry is needed, despite the Attorney-General's vehement denial.
Michael Bradley, a lawyer who represented the woman, said Mr Porter's denial is not enough to resolve the matter. “Of course, it needs to be fully armed with powers of compulsion and it needs to comply with all the rules of procedural fairness. There's plenty of precedent for such an inquiry, so nothing needs to be invented.”In his press conference, Mr Porter argued such an inquiry would force him to"disprove something that didn't happen 33 years ago". But Mr Bradley said this wouldn't be the case.
“What we have here is a very specific allegation. A very serious one. One that has been put directly on the Prime Minister’s desk. He needs to make a judgement," she said.
