Shocking disgraceful Labor conduct!!!!Labor MP: Bullying, misconduct?20/07/2018
Under investigation with no conclusion Federal Labor backbencher Emma Husar has been accused by former staff of bullying and workplace misconduct. As might be expected in today’s politics the victimhood is the first card off the deck:“My office is a professional and respectful workplace. It should not be perceived in any other way, and of course I am sorry if any person has been given reason to think otherwise. “I am a single mum with three children, working hard and doing my best. If I have let anyone down, I apologise.”
In June 2016 Fairfax reported one of her social media posts, she wrote that, “politicians, I want to be one, you can lie, steal, cheat and use other people’s money to go on holidays – the best job in the world”.

Federal Labor backbencher Emma Husar argued she was “horrified” to learn her party has launched an investigation into complaints from former staff of bullying and workplace misconduct.
Buzzfeed News reported the allegations late Thursday, suggesting former staff had accused the Member for Lindsay in Sydney’s western suburbs had been responsible for verbal abuse, harassment, intimidation and demanding staff carry out personal duties for her.
Ms Husar has been a member of Federal Parliament since 2016, and she denied staff had raised issues with her before the investigation was launched in March.
“I love my job and I am incredibly passionate about representing the Lindsay community I have lived in my whole life. My community doesn’t get the air time it deserves and I am working hard to change that,” Ms Husar said in a statement.
“The assertions that have been made do not reflect who I am or how my office operates.”
“My office is a professional and respectful workplace. It should not be perceived in any other way, and of course I am sorry if any person has been given reason to think otherwise.
“I am a single mum with three children, working hard and doing my best. If I have let anyone down, I apologise.”
NSW Labor said it had an independent process for assessing complaints, which would provide advice on how to respond to the allegations.
“The process is mindful to provide protection to the complainant and also procedural fairness to the subject of the complaint,” a party spokesman said.
“As such, no public comment is made during the course of any independent assessments.
“Where appropriate, public comment may be made at the conclusion of the independent process.”
Opposition Leader Bill Shorten’s office did not comment on Thursday.

Nah, ya don’t say! A member of the privileged class admitting to what pollies really do? And yet she got voted in. Shows how dumb some of the electorate is. As a member of the bullying class she admits to bullying. That’s what politics is all about, honey. Now, get down on your knees in front of your chink and google masters.

Emma Husar (born 20 April 1980) is an Australian politician. She has been the Australian Labor Party (ALP) member for the Australian House of Representatives seat of Lindsay since the 2016 federal election.
Husar ran as the ALP candidate for the seat of Penrith at the 2015 NSW election but was unsuccessful.
On 23 November 2016, in her second speech to Parliament, Husar revealed her family history of domestic violence.
In 2016 it was revealed that the Communications Electrical and Plumbing Union (CEPU) donated to Husar’s federal election campaign. The State Secretary of that union, Jim Metcher, had been charged in 2007 with 6 counts of assault against his wife and children but the charges were dismissed on medical grounds. In her maiden speech Husar named Metcher among those people who assisted her political career. She stated “Without your support I would not be here”.
In 2016 it was also reported that Husar deleted a series of embarrassing Facebook posts dating back to 2010 including a photo of her hugging a giant condom. Among these posts Husar stated “politicians, I want to be one, you can lie, steal, cheat and use other people’s money to go on holidays – the best job in the world”.
Husar has 3 children.

Sounds like Ms Husar is living her dream and like most politicians, especially Labor ones her philosophy is ‘whatever it takes’ and in her case if she has to trample a few plebs then so be it.
I can never remember a time when politicians were EVER considered ‘pillars of the community’

OMG. If ever you wanted to see a typical Laborite in thought, word and deed…look no further than this self-serving rat. What a shrill, nasty POS. And the horror of it all is that idiots actually vote for these cretins.
