It was this perfect storm.
A Liberal staffer had been raped and the issue not dealt with. Then it was handled badly. Scottie was reminded by his wife that this woman could have been his daughter, but instead of being grateful many Australians became angry. Then (or before) there was the 4 Corners program on the Canberra Bubble. Christian Porter, AG, became angry because his background shown there was consistent with what next came out: accusation of anal rape 30 years ago with suicide of victim last year. Seems to have been a tradition at that school. They are bred to hold themselves to the highest standards of probity. And then it was International Women's Day. That was after Porter's press conference where his performance was much better than Brett Kavanaugh's (sp?)
This is after a series of scandals over the history of this government involving heaps of money and lots of punching down on the poorest. Dutton annoyed NZ be sending offenders back there and calling it 'taking out the trash'. He is Murdoch's pick.
