Veteran NSW frontbencher Walt Secord is standing down from his shadow ministries following allegations he bullied staff in parliament.
The high-profile opposition police spokesman says he has considered the findings of a review into bullying and harassment in the NSW parliament and asked Labor Leader Chris Minns to let him stand aside.
The long-awaited independent report by former sex discrimination commissioner Elizabeth Broderick found sexual harassment and bullying was rife in the NSW parliament and several people reported incidents of sexual assault while at work.
