Ms Banks, who holds the marginal seat of Chisholm in Melbourne's east, says she felt compelled to speak out, saying she would not tolerate bullying or intimidation. Her allegations come as concerns are also raised by some Indigenous groups about the appointment of Tony Abbott as special envoy on indigenous affairs.
