SYDNEY - A senator from Australia’s main opposition Liberal Party facing accusations of sexual misconduct by several female politicians has resigned from the party but will stay in parliament, the senator’s office said on Sunday.
Mr Van, who denies the accusations, said in a message to the president of the Victorian division of the Liberal Party that he would resign his membership immediately. Following Ms Thorpe’s comments, former Liberal senator Amanda Stoker said in a statement that Mr Van inappropriately touched her at a party in 2020 by squeezing her bottom twice.
