I note the statement that has been issued by Senator Abetz:

Ms Hickey's defamatory allegations under parliamentary privilege are categorically denied.

Allegations of rape are serious matters and have always been treated as such by me. Sexual assault is an issue on which I've been consistently outspoken including domestic violence.

He goes on to make a number of statements. I'd refer the member to the senator's statement, as it's very clear that he completely denies those statements.
