From the article:
Former federal Labor MP Emma Husar is threatening legal action against the ALP for sexual harassment, arguing key people within the party leaked false claims she exposed herself to a parliamentary colleague in 2017 and forced her out of Parliament two years later.
Ms Husar says she was forced out of the ALP after a male former staffer told the party Ms Husar had repeatedly performed an underpants-less “Sharon Stone” manoeuvre in front of fellow MP Jason Clare and his young child in Mr Clare’s parliamentary office. The allegation was leaked to online news outlet Buzzfeed, which published the claims without seeking comment from Ms Husar.
“This is a human rights violation. I had the right to go to work, the right to be treated with respect, I had the right to be given fair consideration, you know, natural justice processes and procedural fairness, that everyone else is entitled to.
Ms Husar struck an out-of-court settlement with Buzzfeed in July 2019, after launching defamation action against the publication. Buzzfeed apologised for not contacting Ms Husar to offer right of reply over the August 2, 2018 article, and agreed to retract the story.
