Grace Tame made the allegation in an anticipated speech at Australia’s National Press Club, saying the call had come last year from a “senior member of a government-funded organisation”.

Tame then added she was asked to promise not to say anything “damning” about Scott Morrison.

The Australian government has denied knowledge of the call and released an official statement revealing it will investigate.

PM Morrison had a day earlier made a formal apology to former political staffer Brittany Higgins and others who allege a culture of “bullying, sexual harassment and sexual assault” in parliament.

On Wednesday, Ms Higgins was with Ms Tame as they gave a joint address on abuse and power at the National Press Club in Canberra.
