Australian Senator Expelled for Sexual Misconduct.

Australia's opposition party expelled Senator David Van following allegations of sexual assault and harassment made by female Senator Lidia Thorpe and former Senator Amanda Stoker. Van denies the allegations, but Stoker claimed he had apologized for squeezing her buttocks twice. The incident highlights the toxic culture in Parliament House that is hostile to women. Last year, an investigation by the national sex discrimination commissioner exposed decades of bullying, harassment, and sexual assault inside Parliament House.
