Second report detailing disturbing workplace culture at division has put onus on government to enact major reform
“The Russell report finally shines a light on the toxic culture of the AAD but does it go far enough?” she asked. “Is there any accountability? Is there any punishment for the bullies?”
“I could no longer align ethically or morally with the workplace, with behaviours being enacted and supported by leadership which do not belong in any workplace, and certainly are not in accord with the Australian public service code of conduct.”Some people described bullying as “covert” or hard to notice, while others believed it was obvious and threatening. One staff member reported a manager raising his middle finger at them and feeling “threatened by that level of aggression and disrespect”.
Nash’s report found “participants observed that women experience a range of harassment, including uninvited physical contact or gestures, unwelcome requests for sex, sexual comments, jokes or innuendo, intrusive questions, displays of offensive or pornographic material and sex-based insults or taunts and unwanted invitations”.
