Last week, federal Liberal M-P Julia Banks announced she will not seek re-election at the next federal election, citing bullying from both her colleagues and the opposing side of politics.

Another Liberal party senator, Lucy Gichuhi, says she was also subject to bullying and intimidation during last month's leadership spill.
