Petinos was last week the subject of bullying allegations in the media, which she strenuously denied
The Guardian has sought comment from Petinos.The sacking comes after News Corp last week published claims that Petinos - in charge of safe workplaces - has been overseeing an “unsafe” working environment and using derogatory language.“I value my staff and endeavour to provide a professional and safe environment for them,” she told AAP on Friday.
While in India last week Perrottet said there was no place for bullying and harassment in the workplace.The premier said the complaint and the process that followed proved the system for workplace complaints worked. “I have implemented as premier the strongest public workplace procedures and practices anywhere in the country ... to ensure confidence, particularly for people who are in a workplace where they don’t feel safe,” Perrottet said.
In a statement provided to AAP last week, the department said it had not received any complaints about Petinos’ office. “I take my responsibilities as a local member and minister seriously and expect that my staff are as committed in delivering for my constituents and the people of NSW as I am,” said Petinos last week, while on annual leave.
