An Australian Chief of Staff claims they’ve been bullied out of a job. 

Jo Tarnawsky, former chief of staff to Richard Marles, says she was forced out of her job after seeking help over workplace bullying.  

She claims that the Deputy Prime Minister essentially removed her from her role in a phone call in April, without the proper process.  

Australian Correspondent Murray Olds told Mike Hosking that she’s apparently been locked out of her office since, unable to work. 

He's unsure where this will land, but Olds says the Labour Party needs this like a hole in the head.
