NSW Nationals MP accused of sexual assault to be interviewed by police

Embattled NSW Nationals MP Michael Johnsen will be interviewed by police on Friday after Minister for Women Trish Doyle alleged, under parliamentary privilege, he was involved in a sexual assault 18 months ago. Ms Doyle used parliamentary privilege on Wednesday to air extraordinary allegations that a coalition MP was involved in a sexual assault of a sex worker. Mr Johnsen subsequently identified himself as the MP in question and issued a strong denial of the claims before resigning from his role as parliamentary secretary, insisting he will fully cooperate with the police. Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell said Mr Johnsen will be interviewed by the police on Friday, while also revealing Mr Johnsen’s accuser conducted an interview with a journalist from the ABC’s investigations unit, but the public broadcaster elected not to run the story.
