FORMER Victorian Greens leader Greg Barber allegedly called women he worked with fat lesbians and “hairy-legged feminists”, according to an ex-staffer’s husband.

More details about Mr Barber’s alleged bullying have emerged, months after it was revealed he and parliamentary services reached a $56,000 settlement with a former staff member.

The ABC on Tuesday revealed the identity of the woman at the centre of the settlement, former parliamentary adviser Liz Ingham.

Ms Ingham’s husband, Trevor Coon, told the ABC that Mr Barber allegedly referred to women as “fat, hairy lesbians”, “power pussies” and “hairy-legged feminists”.

Mr Coon also alleged that Mr Barber had a “men’s room” in his office, which women could only enter if invited.

In April, Mr Barber denied the allegations.

When contacted on Thursday, he said he couldn’t comment because of the confidential settlement.

Current Victorian Greens leader Samantha Ratnam said the party has launched ongoing reviews and took the allegations “very, very seriously”.

“We’re very disappointed when these matters are brought to light,” Ms Ratnam said.
