Luke Foley Resignation
Luke Foley resigned as leader of the New South Wales Labor party on 8 November 2018 over Ashleigh Raper‘s allegations that he put his hands in her underwear at a Christmas party in November 2016.
ABC journalist Ashleigh Raper released a statement outlining her version of events. The statement read:
“In November 2016 I attended an official Christmas function at New South Wales Parliament House for state political reporters, politicians and their staff.
“This is what happened on that night. The party moved from Parliament House to Martin Place Bar after a number of hours. Later in the evening, Luke Foley approached a group of people, including me, to say goodnight.
“He stood next to me. He put his hand through a gap in the back of my dress and inside my underpants. He rested his hand on my buttocks. I completely froze.”
In a brief statement to the media, Foley insisted the allegations are false and said he planned to sue for defamation.
“I can’t fight to clear my name and fight an election at the same time. It’s just not possible. Therefore, I am resigning as leader of the Labor Party effective today.”
