Australian PM Scott Morrison has removed a minister accused of rape from his role as the nation's chief law officer, after weeks of pressure.
Christian Porter will no longer be attorney general but will remain in cabinet in a new portfolio.
Mr Porter has strongly rejected an allegation that he raped a girl in 1988 when he was 17.
Mr Morrison promoted several female lawmakers as part of a broader cabinet reshuffle on Monday.
