The Conspiracy of Witches

David Pope harks back to the high-profile rape allegation made by former political aide Brittany Higgins. Opposition Leader Peter Dutton directs an Elizabethan-style play in which former prime minister Scott Morrison is being cooked in a cauldron by a pair of senior Labor politicians, Senators Penny Wong and Katy Gallagher, both of whom had some early knowledge of the incident. The rehearsal is interrupted by news of Senator Lidia Thorpe’s accusation of sexual harassment against Senator David Van.
