Steve from Brisbane has written about this so I will only add to it in a minor way.
First of all when Thorpe raised the matter few gave it much thought as Thorpe has justifiable little credibility.
When Stoker made her allegations then things changed for two reasons. She was a woman but more importantly she was from the Liberal party. to say as Thorpe has done the allegations were onlt taken seriously when a white woman said something and it was therefore racist merely shows Thorpe has no idea of what racism is.
Dutton also said he had been given another allegation which led him to say Van should resign.
We should also bear in mind Dutton does need evidence to the extent it is beyond a reasonable doubt to call on him to resign. We do need to know whether Van is a problem or not however now Van has resigned from the Liberal party this is not possible. This is all convenient to Van who will remain a senator until the next election. Hmmm
