Federal police are internal.....That's why the minister organized a interview and why the victim went to a meeting...She also went to the normal police.....
the rest is just your take on it, which is fine....The fact is only police and a trial if the guilt is not admitted are the only way to solve crime in Australia....
Why it might be a good idea if rape is mentioned then a police case is mandatory to the end...

No, the federal police is 'internal' to parliamentary employment procedures.
Simon Birmingham is a politician.

No, I'm saying that Simon Birmingham shouldn't have brushed off the fourth accuser and should've agreed to meet her and listen to her concerns.

'A whole lot of silence': Former Liberal staffer Chelsey Potter speaks out about party's handling of assault allegations
Former Liberal staffer Chelsey Potter says she "cried a lot" after reaching out to her former boss senator Simon Birmingham to discuss her experiences of a sexual assault by another male colleague.
"I responded to Ms Potter on the same day stating:
"I encourage you to talk to professionals about such matters..."
Really? Are you serious?

Police inquiry
Finally, there is the official police inquiry. Higgins is expected to make a formal complaint later this week.
9 days later and she still hasn't taken the case to the police.....

I think she was more devastated because she considered him a friend. Not the sort of response you'd expect from a friend.'A whole lot of silence': Former Liberal staffer Chelsey Potter speaks out about party's handling of assault allegations

This is a separate case with a different assailant and was brought to public attention quite awhile ago....
She is not the 4th victim, she has nothing to do with Higgins case....
"The allegations made by Ms Potter that were first reported on the Sydney Morning Herald website on Monday 29 July 2019
That is why I didn't know what you where talking about.... It's bad enough looking at Higgins case and the other 3 women that have come forward without looking at years old ones as well...
BTW the 4th Victim said the alleged rapist grabbed her leg during a party.... difinatly not this one....

... you keep rabbiting on about 'the case.' What case is that exactly..?
In your imagination... you have some big trial already underway , do you.?
I'd suggest you wait for the facts, rather than all these aspersions and doubts you keep casting on the very idea// there could be any truth... well stuff you .. I prefer fact to supposition, surmise and ignorance.

Greens candidate Philippa Clark has alleged MP Craig Kelly’s aide Frank Zumbo behaved inappropriately towards her when she was a teenager. She alleges that when she was 18, Zumbo helped her campaign and behaved inappropriately toward her, a claim he denies. Clark alleged she felt coerced into situations where she was obliged to hug and kiss Zumbo, who was in his late 40s at the time, and that on a number of occasions he touched her on the thigh, even though she told him it made her uncomfortable. Clark said she was speaking up following the publication of the allegations about an inappropriate office culture at Kelly’s electorate office.
This needs to be investigated properly, If he is in the wrong then loose his job and charged, If she is in the wrong then the same....
Time will tell....

And all 4 run by liberal party interests .... just more of a cover up
But there was one interesting thing in that article don
Why do the AFP notify Dutton when they investigate a politically sensitive matter? Can you imagine the uproar if they notify mob bosses when they investigate the mafia? What a load of crap. They should, where possible, complete their investigation without the need to keep Dutton informed.
