Australian MP Georgie Purcell revealed she was a victim of repeated sexual harassment in the Victoria Parliament. The incidents occurred both while she was a political staffer and a representative for the Animal Justice Party. Purcell stated that the first instances happened when she was only 26 years old. She called for the abolition of non-disclosure agreements in sexual harassment cases. The Victoria government is promoting a bill that will enable victims to speak out without being stigmatized.
