Education Minister Alan Tudge’s ex-lover Rachelle Miller has released the Prime Minister of any confidentiality over her legal claim.
The decision means that any decision to keep the workplace payout secret is on the Morrison government’s head.
News.com.au revealed on Monday that government sources had confirmed they are finalising a taxpayer-funded payout of well over $500,000 to his ex-lover and staffer.
The stunning cost of the Education Minister’s sexual entanglement with his press secretary proved a fresh headache for Prime Minister Scott Morrison on the campaign trail this week.
The revelations of the secret compensation payout follows negotiations between Ms Miller’s lawyers and the Department of Finance.
Ms Miller accused him of bullying her during the affair, claims Mr Tudge rejected and were not upheld by an investigation commissioned by the Prime Minister which Ms Miller declined to participate in on legal advice.
