Kylea Tink said she will explore the possibility of making a complaint about Coalition MPs sending out electronic direct mail that she said is “inflammatory”.
Teal MP Kylea Tink wants to take a complaint about “offensive and degrading” personal comments to the new parliamentary watchdog the government wants to introduce – but other MPs are worried political parties could weaponise its powers.
“I look forward to working through the legislation to understand how it can lift that standard or behaviour and if it covers things like electronic direct mail – that are disrespectful, inflammatory or propagate misinformation – I’m keen to understand if referrals to the IPSC will be an option.”believes the mistreatment of her in the House is also a form of bullying, even though the new watchdog will not investigate rowdy behaviour in the chambers.
“Recently, the member for Warringah who you’ve mentioned made some personal and particularly nasty attacks on our leader Peter Dutton, they were not professional, they were not responsible and they were repeated inside and outside the chamber,” Ley told ABC News. But while investigations by the new watchdog come with several checks and balances, any punishment must be ratified by a vote in parliament.
