Senator Thorpe yesterday used parliamentary privilege to accuse Senator Van of sexually harassing and assaulting her, which he immediately denied, and she later withdrew.

Senator Thorpe said she would not take her concerns raised in the Senate to police.

Mr Dutton said his decision was not a reflection on Senator Van's guilt or innocence.

Guilty because of the accusation.

It’s possible everyone there knows he’s a bit touchy feely, but know one wears body cams on their arses to catch him having a grope.

Just speculation, but it is entirely possible for something to be true without having enough evidence for a senate or police investigation.

Looks like this is probably the case. We are up to 3 allegations now.
