In that same interview, Labor MP Amanda Rishworth was asked about former Labor adviser Anna Jabour's op-ed, published on news.com.au on Wednesday afternoon, which detailed her experiences while working as a Labor staffer during the Gillard-Rudd era.

I would suggest that anyone that has experienced this type of treatment should come forward and participate in the inquiry because that is the only way we are going to get a full account of what is occurring and, importantly, a pathway forward to changing the culture.
