The woman and the ABC have alleged the following:

• MP Michael Johnsen offered the woman $1,000 to attend state parliament for sex;
• Mr Johnsen wanted the woman to meet him in Parliament House, to buy her lunch and alluded to desert being a sexual act in Parliamentary office.
• the woman initially said she did not believe Mr Johnsen was an MP because he had sent unsolicited photos of himself: “I thought it was somebody trying to set him up because I thought he’d sent photos of himself when I hadn’t even asked for one.”
• there are records of Mr Johsen sexting in Parliament while debates on water restrictions and abortion were taking place, some threads taking place for more than two hours.
• during the debate on abortion, Mr Johnsen sent a video of a man masturbating in a toilet holding an ipad with the woman’s image.
