The Attorney-General and Treasurer defend the culture of the Labor Party and their leader Daniel Andrews in the wake of bullying allegations made by outgoing MP Kaushaliya Vaghela.
Treasurer Tim Pallas said he understood a person accused of bullying had been investigated, removed from their direct role, and then later resigned.
Mr Pallas said Ms Vaghela's criticisms were "not founded in any sense of fact" and said Mr Andrews had demonstrated in "very tangible and real ways" his commitment to fairness and equality. "It is worrying for me that she said that, and it goes to her state of mind, and I hope, and I can assure her should she need assistance from the government, in any way, to help with her state of mind, we will support her in the way through this."Attorney-General defends 'amazing support' from party and leader
Ms Symes said she had "enjoyed amazing support from the Premier" and pointed to the even number of men and women in cabinet since 2018.
