Sexual scandal: Australian Prime Minister Reshapes Government

A series of sex scandals and protests forced Australian Prime Minister Scott Morison to reshape the government team on Monday.

Morrison announced the replacement of Attorney General Christian Potter and Defence Minister Linda Reynolds.

Potter leaves after charges that in 1988 he raped a 16-year-old girl, and he himself was 17 years old.

The case against him, however, will not be prosecuted because the accuser has passed away.

Former Minister Reynolds, meanwhile, was dismissed after he offended and called a liar a former staff member who also accused of being raped by a colleague in parliament.

In addition to scandals in the government, Prime Minister Morrison's Liberal Party has been in trouble in recent days.

Several cases of men who are part of party personnel have been published in the media, committing shameful acts in the parliament's environments.

This month, Australian women have staged protests to denounce their sexual inequality and violence.

Prime Minister Morison has declared that simultaneously with government reshaping, he will also set up a task-force to analyse the problems on women's inequality, security and welfare in the country.
