A dossier detailing historical rape allegations against former Attorney-General Christian Porter has been released to the public.
Mr Porter has strenuously denied the allegations.
The Federal Court published the original document in a partially-redacted form on Thursday. The documents detail an allegation that Mr Porter raped a woman in Sydney in 1988, when they were both teenagers.
Parts of the 31-page dossier had previously been revealed after being circulated among politicians and journalists.
The dossier includes a letter written by the woman, known only as Kate, which recounts graphic details of the alleged offence.
In the letter, the woman says the alleged offence took place in her room at the University of Sydney’s Women’s College following a formal dinner for the World Universities’ Debating Championships.
The woman took her own life in June last year, before she had made a formal police statement.
NSW Police in March said there was insufficient admissible evidence to proceed with an investigation into the matter.
Kate alleged she was raped three times by Mr Porter during the early hours of 10 January, 1988.
In the letter, Kate said she was too ashamed to report the alleged rapes the next day. The dossier also includes allegedly contemporaneous diary notes written by the woman.
The dossier was made available as part of a court case brought to prevent high-profile lawyer Sue Chrysanthou from representing Mr Porter in his defamation case against the ABC.
The documents had been tendered as part of legal action to settled.
A friend of the woman, Jo Dyer, had claimed Ms Chrysanthou had a conflict of interest arising from a meeting between the two women in November last year.
Last month, Justice Thomas Thawley ruled Mr Porter's barrister should be barred from representing him after she earlier advised Ms Dyer.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison has rejected calls for an independent inquiry into the allegations against Mr Porter, describing him as an "innocent man under our law".
Mr Porter is now minister for industry, innovation and science after losing the portfolio of attorney general in a cabinet reshuffle in March.
