ACT politician's complaint alleging 'threatening' behaviour by colleague dismissed
The ACT Commissioner for Standards recommends a complaint filed by former Liberal MLA Leanne Castley about alleged "threatening behaviour" by colleague Chiaka Barry be dismissed.
An investigation by the ACT Commissioner for Standards has rejected allegations of threatening behavior made by former Canberra Liberals leader Leanne Castley against fellow MLA Chiaka Barry. The commission found that while Ms Barry's actions were "somewhat intemperate," they did not constitute a breach of the code of conduct. Ms Castley filed a complaint in June, alleging that Ms Barry threatened to physically assault her during a meeting in May.
The commissioner interviewed both Ms Barry and Ms Parton, who provided their accounts of the incident, and recommended dismissing the complaint.
