Queensland Labor MP Brittany Lauga says she was drugged and sexually assaulted on a night out, sparking a police investigation. The assistant health minister posted on social media that she went to the police and the hospital on Sunday morning after she was allegedly drugged and assaulted on a night out in her electorate of Yeppoon, a town in central Queensland. "Tests at the hospital confirmed the presence of drugs in my body which I did not take.
The Member for Keppel said she was taking time to physically and emotionally heal after the alleged incident but thanked members of the public who reached out to show their support. "I truly value your thoughtful messages, gestures and kindness." Premier Steven Miles said Lauga had experienced an incident that nobody should have and extended his support to the MP. "No one should have to go through what Brittany is going through," he said in a statement.
