Hollingworth to fight rape claim, then decide future
Peter Hollingworth will stand aside indefinitely from the post of governor-general while he fights rape allegations in court, but he remains under growing pressure to quit the job even if he is cleared.
The Prime Minister, John Howard, yesterday maintained there was no case for him to sack Dr Hollingworth, but also refused to give his full support for his continuing in the job.
