An Australian whistleblower on Monday unveiled in "The Australian" and on Channel 10 television videos of government employees engaging in sexual acts in the country's parliament.

The case shakes the Conservative government already affected by two other cases of sexual harassment and rape. 

The broadcast of videos showing Australian Conservative government employees engaging in sexual acts in Parliament, including one masturbating on the desk of an MP, further weakened the executive on Tuesday, more and more questioned for the sexism of the political class.

newspaper

and Channel 10.

A "culture of men who think they can do whatever they want"

The whistleblower, identified as Tom, told both media outlets that government employees and MPs sometimes had sex in a prayer room in Parliament and prostitutes may have been brought into the building. " for the pleasure of coalition deputies ".

He also explained that employees exchanged pornographic photos of themselves, which he himself had received so many that he had "become immune".

Two cases shake the Australian government 

Two high-profile cases involving two ministers have recently hit the center-right government.

First there were the accusations of a former government employee.

Brittany Higgins claimed last month that she was raped in 2019 by a colleague in the parliamentary office of Linda Reynolds, who was then Minister of Defense Industry.

Become Minister of Defense, the latter has since been criticized for the way in which her cabinet would have received the accusations of the young woman at the time.

In early March, "Attorney General" Christian Porter, who is the government's principal legal adviser, vigorously denied having raped a 16-year-old girl with whom he was studying in 1988.

The latter died last year.

He filed a libel suit against state broadcaster ABC, the first to report the charges.
