Former Canberra Liberals Leader Leanne Castley announced her resignation from the party yesterday, citing bullying, intimidation and threats of physical assault from members.

The Liberals have since rejected the suggestion that there is a toxic culture within the party, saying politics is a robust environment where strongly held views are debated vigorously, but they do not condone bullying, intimidation or inappropriate behaviour of any kind.

The Opposition stated that where concerns are raised, they are treated seriously and though the appropriate processes.

In a statement released, the party said that out of respect for privacy and confidentiality, they will not comment publicly on individual matters.
