Foley promised to resign
Ms Raper said Mr Foley called her last Sunday and apologised, saying he was remorseful and had wanted to talk about the matter many times over the past two years.
She said he told her that while he had been drunk on the night and couldn't remember all of the details, he knew he had done something to offend her.
Ms Raper said Mr Foley told her: "I'm not a philanderer, I'm not a groper, I'm just a drunk idiot."
She said Mr Foley told her he would resign either Monday this week or Wednesday, but could not do so on Tuesday as he would be accused of "burying the story" on Melbourne Cup Day.
Ms Raper said Mr Foley called her again on Tuesday and said he had been given legal advice to not resign, and intended to follow it.
As recently as this morning, Mr Foley insisted he was confident he would be Opposition Leader at the time of next year's election.
