An electorate office staffer of Rebekha Sharkie has launched a Fair Work case against the Centre Alliance MP, alleging a “course of bullying behaviour” left her unable to work since December 2022.
The case, commenced in the federal circuit court on Monday, argues that the finance department and Sharkie took “adverse action” against her by changing her hours in July 2022 as a result of Anthony Albanese’s decision to reduce crossbenchers’ staffing allocation.
