From Morning Report, 7:09 am on 15 August 2022

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she doesn't believe issues of bullying is widespread across the party, but she says these issues come up from time to time with a large workplace.

The Government is facing a number of bullying complaints levelled against MPs, ignited by Hamilton MP Dr Gaurav Sharma.

Ardern told Morning Report says the party has a process for dealing with issues Dr Sharma raised, but he disagreed with their interventions.

The Labour Party Leader says she hasn't seen nothing to substantiate the claims he has made about a misuse of funds by other MPs.
