Liberal candidate questions timing of Christian Porter rape allegation so close to WA election
The Liberal candidate for the seat of Albany, on Western Australia’s south coast, has questioned the timing of a historical rape allegation made against Attorney-General Christian Porter so close to the state election.
Key points:
- Scott Leary has questioned the timing of a historical rape allegation
- Mr Leary made the comments during two separate ABC interviews
- Liberal leader Zak Kirkup says he does not agree with Mr Leary’s comments
Candidate Scott Leary said he believed the airing of an allegation dating back to 1988, which Mr Porter strenuously denies, might be politically motivated to disrupt this Saturday’s election.
Mr Leary said the time between the alleged incident and a letter sent to the Prime Minister about the matter was confusing.
