All eyes are on the Labour Party with bullying accusations against MPs.

Hamilton West MP Gaurav Sharma has accused party whips and the Parliamentary Service of bullying.

But Sharma himself has also been accused of bad behaviour by previous staff.

A senior staffer has also made allegations against first term Tukituki MP Anna Lorck.

Former Labour Party staffer Shane Te Pou told Kate Hawkesby from what he can see, whips handled Sharma appropriately.

He says Sharma had a high turnover of staff, so the party put a staffing freeze in place and tried to provide support.
