The Greens senator from Western Australia has not spoken to the media since the Nine papers broke the story on Thursday.
Several staffers who worked for Greens senator Dorinda Cox have accused the Noongar woman of presiding over a toxic workplace. The Sydney Morning Herald reported on Thursday that it had spoken to ten former staffers, both on and off the record, about their tumultuous time in the senator's office. A common theme was the senator's allegedly overbearing demeanour, which several said amounted to bullying.
“During my time working in the office, I witnessed and experienced disturbing behaviour by Dorinda Cox towards myself and other staff members. These experiences made me concerned for my safety and for the safety of others in the office,” the complaint reads. “I spent much of the time feeling like I was walking on eggshells just waiting for Dorinda to explode at me." Party leader Adam Bandt was also made aware of the behaviour.
