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.
“Investigations into this matter are ongoing,” police said in a statement. 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.” ‘My sole focus is on Brittany’ Premier Steven Miles said Lauga had experienced an incident that nobody should, and extended his support to the MP.
