Prime Minister Scott Morrison has apologised for the culture of the Parliament House following the Jenkins review released last year and says he is “determined” to ensure the workplace is a “safer and respectful” place for everyone. “This review speaks of a long-standing culture, generations of culture, in this place and in the building before it, of bullying and harassment," Mr Morrison said in his apology at Parliament House on Tuesday. “Justice should come, and it should always be delivered under the rule of law." “Every single Australian has the right to feel safe at work, and yet it is clear that practical and cultural changes are necessary to make our Parliamentary workplaces safer. “We must and we can, and we will do better. I am determined that we deliver the outcomes of the Jenkins review and make our Commonwealth Parliamentary workplace as safer and respectful for everyone.” He said they are “working together” to implement all 28 recommendations from the Jenkins review.
