The independent MP Monique Ryan and her chief of staff Sally Rugg have reached an agreement that prevents the political staffer from being imminently sacked. They will also enter mediation in an attempt to resolve a broader dispute about working conditions in the MP’s office, a court has heard.
In an application to the federal court, Rugg accused the commonwealth of “hostile conduct” and claimed Ryan caused her to be terminated for refusing to work “unreasonable” additional hours.
