Prime Minister Scott Morrison has demoted two of his senior ministers, and reshuffled his frontbench, in an attempt to end the toxic culture crisis engulfing his government, unveiling a line up with a focus on female representation. Christian Porter has lost his roles as Attorney-General and Industrial Relations Minister following his decision to sue the ABC for its reporting of a historical rape accusation, which he strongly denies. Senator Reynolds has also been shifted from the Defence portfolio, following sustained pressure over her handling of a rape allegation made by former Liberal staffer Brittany Higgins.
