Adam Bandt will have to confront the bullying complaints made about Senator Dorinda Cox after the parliament support service stopped looking at them.
Greens leader Adam Bandt will have to confront the mounting number of bullying complaints made about Senator Dorinda Cox, which are in limbo after parliament’s support service wound up its involvement without resolution.
Eleven former staffers of Dorinda Cox and Greens party members have confirmed they have lodged complaints about Cox.Last month, this masthead revealed that Cox had lost 20 staff from her office in just three years. Five lodged some form of complaint with the Parliamentary Workplace Support Service, while several lodged complaints with the leader’s office and with the WA branch of the Greens.
Asked this month what action he had taken when allegations about Cox’s conduct were brought to his office, Bandt said the matters were confidential and that it was up to the support service to investigate.“The PWSS has the power to not only receive complaints from staff members, but also to investigate them and also to then make findings,” Bandt said.
Bandt did not answer questions about whether the party leader would take steps to investigate the complaints about Cox, whether he was aware there were no current investigations under way or whether he was satisfied with PWSS’s handling of the complaints. A spokeswoman for Cox said PWSS had never made “any findings against Senator Cox, and PWSS advises that there are no current investigations,” while confirming the senator had asked for copies of the complaints.
The Greens WA state office, which is considering conducting its own investigation into the complaints it has received, also confirmed the party’s previous co-conveners Chloe Durand and Nat Tang had received complaints.
