The NSW Liberal Party Executive has unanimously adopted a new Code of Conduct that will govern the behaviour of members, and will help create a positive environment for Members and volunteers.
\nFor some time, the NSW Liberal Party has been developing a new Code of Conduct that reflects our commitment to high standards of behaviour.
\nThe NSW Liberal Party President, the Hon Philip Ruddock AO, said that a lot of work had gone into the development of the new Code.
\n\u201cThis Code compliments the work done at a national level by former State and Federal President, Chris McDiven AO, and former Federal Director, Brian Loughnane AO, by implementing a robust framework governing behaviour and a complaints resolution process to ensure that behaviour that falls short of the standards set out in the Code is dealt with appropriately.\u201d
\n\u201cThere is no doubt that harassment and assault are completely unacceptable in any circumstances. Everyone is entitled to feel safe and no-one should have to be subjected to inappropriate behaviour of any kind,\u201d said Mr Ruddock.
\n\u201cThe new Code reflects a common sense approach in the way members should interact. It is a direct result of detailed input and contribution of many \u2013 the State Director, Chris Stone, and his team, the Party\u2019s Audit & Governance Committee, the State Executive, and the Code of Conduct sub-committee,\u201d said Female Vice-President and Chair of the Code of Conduct sub-committee, Mary-Lou Jarvis.
\nAs part of the reforms, the Party will be establishing an autonomous Conduct Review Committee to ensure that complaints can be dealt with promptly and confidentially, while providing procedural fairness for all involved.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
