Thousands to rally outside Australian parliament as pressure grows on PM

Canberra: Thousands of protesters are expected to descend on Australia's capital on Monday when the country's parliament resumes as part of nationwide demonstrations, intensifying pressure on Prime Minister Scott Morrison.

Spurred by rape allegations against Attorney-General Christian Porter and a former employee of Morrison's Liberal party, 43 protests are planned across the country on Monday to demand equality and justice for women. Porter denies the allegation, which surfaced recently, of the alleged 1988 rape.
