do you name and shame a untried person ????
I guess it's the same answer, if rape is mentioned it has to be investigated, no backing out....
Australia’s Prime Minister Scott Morrison apologized to a former staffer for how her sexual assault complaint was handled

A serial rapist.4 victims now?
If true what sort of sleeze bag is this bloke
Yes, and frankly it's a weasel way to absolve anybody of anything. He should've said that the government would actively report any serious sexual misconduct in government.
no need to name him. Just issue a warning about what has allegedly happened and suggest they avoid putting themselves in a position where it could happen to them
the truth will come out but not because the libs admit to it
Rubbish. .. the rules only apply to politicians

You've said it all... your own words suffice to inform us all of your opinion.
How many times do you need to tell the same story. Enough already. I suggest YOU wait to see what happens instead of flapping your gums.

Update
Fourth woman makes complaint about former staffer who allegedly raped Brittany Higgins - ABC News
Socialising after work in 2017 with colleagues at Canberra's Public Bar, the favoured drinking hole of the political class, the woman said she was startled when the man who would later be identified as the staffer who allegedly raped Ms Higgins reached his hand under the table and stroked her thigh.

about what? My first comment was to say that members of the general public are named. The second was to say that ONLY politicians are protected and the third was in response to your question of how ministers can make people aware of incidents without requiring them to name anyone if the victim says she's she doesn't want to go public. Three completely different scenarios Don

the accused rapist is not a politician he is a advisor.....
really a warning there was a accused rape in parliament house everyone be careful out there... warning ??? what good would that do... I could see it doing a lot of harm with suspicion and gossip though.....
If I were a Minister, and someone asked to me with the intention of discussing what happened to them, rather than just blowing them off and referring them to someone else, I'd actually meet with that person and talk to them about it.
What Simon Birmingham did to that other lady was completely unacceptable. He's trying to pay lip service and not piss off the party machinery.
All of these people, every single one of them, is putting the interests of the party before people. No one wants to do or say anything because they're afraid of losing votes.
The problem is they're applying 20th tactics to 21st issues - people today would actually respond well to politicians putting the interests of people over their own party.

This case the minister did have a face to face meeting with the victim and organized a meeting with the fed police so she could find out her options, so she did what you would of done..
Actually, I thought he was a staffer, not that it matters ...but thats all semantics ... he's part of the political machine. Politicians do look after themselves and their ilk
It would have warned the women especially to be on the lookout for it .Other places of employment seem to make it work.

Would be interesting to see if any studies have been done on this and if it works....Most big jobs I’ve been on any general safety measure and warnings have been noticeably ignored....
See, this is the thing: the reaction is always 'go to the police', 'go to the police'. Sometimes, a person may not want to go the police and seek out 'internal' processes first.
The other thing is that referring people to go to the police is actually a way to get rid of them because they know the person doesn't want to go to the police.
