National Party MP, Dr Anne Webster, has lodged a complaint against a man who allegedly harassed her in Parliament House last week. Dr Webster said she was shocked by the incident, especially as a major inquiry was already under way into the toxic workplace culture in Australia’s Parliament. “My first thought was: ‘You have got to be kidding me’,” she told ABC radio. “I mean, really? I was just dumbfounded at this behaviour. Because it wasn’t the first time. “So, for me, it was like: ‘No, I have to actually address this’.” The other person involved has apologised and promised to not harass anyone again. Dr Webster said she was satisfied with the outcome. Meanwhile, pressure has been mounting on Queensland coalition MP Andrew Laming to quit politics immediately after a series of allegations were levelled at him.
