'Sobering, confronting, unacceptable': Workplace culture report into NSW Parliament handed downThe report, by former sex discrimination commissioner Elizabeth Broderick, uncovered a toxic workplace of alleged sexual harassment and bullying. Isn’t strange that she never finds a happy workplace. She needs some serious counselling. Drug and alcohol is the obvious problem in parliaments,but they refuse to be tested,so nothing will change. Harrassment, bullying and a lot more caused my wife to change jobs only to find out too late the job she changed to has the same culture and its why they have vacancies, now she and others are unemployed and looking again. It shouldn't happen to anyone ever.

'Confronting and completely unacceptable': NSW Premier responds to Parliament reportPremier Dominic Perrottet has described a report into bullying, sexual harassment and sexual misconduct at New South Wales Parliament workplaces as 'sobering and confronting'. Nice diversion Dom, let’s deal with Barilaro and then the bullying and sexual report. Who knows, the two may flow together. This has been going on in parliaments all over the country for decades it's bullshit to say people are surprised or shocked. But not only that it's going on in all organisations and industries. So far all measures haven't stopped these criminals and grubs that do this shit.

Time to shine a light on Macquarie Street’s dark recessesThe toxic workplace culture in the NSW Parliament House must change to reflect community standards. Honestly people have got to stop thinking working for a politician is a good idea. If you’re an MP, a group of people are working everyday to kick you out of your job. That’s the best you can hope for and no report will change that
