My question is to the Minister representing the Prime Minister, Senator Cormann. Liberal MPs and senators have complained of bullying and intimidation throughout the week of the Liberal leadership chaos. Julia Banks has indicated that she will not recontest the seat of Chisholm, describing the events as 'the last straw'. Senator Reynolds told the Senate she was 'distressed and disturbed' by the behaviour and the Minister for Women has said:
It is clear to me that people were subject to threats and intimidation and bullying.
What action has the Prime Minister taken to address the complaints?
