Move Forward MP being investigated over alleged sexual harassment
23 Sept 03:37Key points summarised by AI
The Move Forward party is investigating one of its MPs for alleged sexual harassment against a female volunteer, with the accusation surfacing via social media posts showing an online chat.
While the party's disciplinary committee is probing the matter, it notes insufficient evidence to prove the MP's wrongdoing, and the House of Representatives cannot investigate due to the absence of an ethical committee and a vacant opposition leader post.
