Dominic Perrottet told politicians responsible for toxic behaviour to leave parliament after a damning review found that one in five people working in NSW politics had been sexually harassed.

The high-profile review commissioned by the NSW government also found that 20 per cent of workers had experienced bullying. Five people reported being sexually assaulted or being the target of an attempted assault.
