One former staff member,Angela Hadchiti,told News Corp of a"brutal"and"bizarre"working environment that had been reported to Mr Shorten’s office,NSW Labor and the United Services Union months ago.
"I don’t believe that,"the Mr Shorten said."I’ve made my own inquiries. None of my staff have confirmed that."
Asked what the office had known,one senior Labor source said there was an important distinction between hearing rumours about an MP and receiving formal complaints or reports.
