Good afternoon. Jo Tarnawsky, the chief of staff to deputy prime minister Richard Marles, is suing her boss and the government, alleging in the federal court that she was punished for raising a bullying complaint and naming a colleague as an alleged perpetrator.
Tarnawsky revealed on Monday she had begun proceedings for adverse action under the Fair Work Act, naming Marles, the commonwealth and Anthony Albanese’s chief of staff, Tim Gartrell, as respondents. Tarnawsky is not alleging Marles or Gartrell bullied her.
