MORNING BRIEFING: A NSW state Labor MP accused of bullying says she 'completely rejects the assertions' in claims raised just days after similar allegations were levelled at a colleague.
Tania Mihailuk said the allegations hadn't been brought to her attention before being published in the media.
Ms Mihailuk issued a brief statement denying the claims, saying it did not surprise her they had "suddenly" been raised on the eve of her pre-selection despite never being brought to her attention. Sydney commuters faced more disruptions during yesterday's train strike, with delays, cancellations, and a reduced timetable again frustrating passengers.
"So even if magically everybody agrees to the deed overnight, it's still going to go through a process."The senior public servant who oversaw former deputy premier John Barilaro's appointment to a plum New York trade job has stood aside as chief executive of Investment NSW. Shadow Treasurer Daniel Mookhey said Ms Brown should not have to take the fall in the controversy over the actions of senior Labor figures such as Mr Barilaro and former frontbencher Stuart Ayres.
