Don Burke, who has been accused of indecently assaulting, sexually harassing and bullying a number of women, has issued a statement denying all the allegations.


Former television personality Don Burke says he's deeply hurt and outraged by what he's calling false and defamatory claims made by disgruntled former employees.

He's been accused of indecent assault, sexual harassment and bullying by women during his time as a TV and radio presenter.

An investigation by the ABC and Fairfax has uncovered the claims from a number of women who worked with Don Burke in the late 1980s and 1990s.
