He was considered a possible future prime minister, but ended his political career as a backbencher after suing the ABC and journalist Louise Milligan in a defamation lawsuit.

Mr Porter left his post as Attorney General after an emotional press conference in March 2021 following allegations – which he categorically denied – that he was involved in a 1988 rape when he was 17 while participating in a Sydney high school debating competition. .

Mr Porter stepped down as Attorney General while the case was underway but served as Secretary of State for Science.

Mr Porter split in 2020 with his second wife Jennifer after 13 years together. They have two children.
