My question is to the Prime Minister. During the election campaign, on May 4 2019, the Prime Minister said about rape: 'One of the things that often happens with that is they're not believed and their stories are not believed. It's important that their stories are believed and that they know if they come forward their stories will be believed.' Why then did the Prime Minister decide a written complaint sent directly to him wasn't true, without even reading it?
