Deputy Prime Minister Richard Marles has reached an out-of-court settlement with his former chief of staff, Jo Tarnawsky, following allegations of workplace bullying. Tarnawsky claimed she was pushed out of her role after raising concerns about bullying by colleagues in Marles' office. The settlement comes just as Australia heads into a federal election campaign, avoiding a prolonged legal battle that could have been politically damaging. The details of the settlement remain confidential. This resolution ends a months-long dispute that had cast a shadow over Marles' leadership and the broader Labor government.
