South Australian Premier Mike Rann has rejected allegations that he had a sexual affair with a former parliament staffer. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, former barmaid Michelle Chantelois has claimed that she had a sexual affair with Rann. The married woman told Channel Seven and New Idea magazine that she had sex with Rann in Parliament House and also kissed the Premier in his house and other locations. Rann, however, dismissed the claims today as ''absolutely ridiculous'' and said he would be taking legal action against the two media outlets that had aired the story. ''The allegations are totally and absolutely untrue. I have not had sex with her,'' he told reporters this afternoon.
