	Description:		Sexual harassment and bullying are rife within Australian federal politics. That's the finding of a landmark report by the Sex Discrimination Commissioner Kate Jenkins, based on anonymous interviews with hundreds of people employed in parliamentary workplaces. Kate Jenkins' inquiry was initiated back in February, when allegations came to light that former Liberal Party staffer Brittany Higgins had been raped by a colleague in a ministerial office. So what has Kate Jenkins found? And will the Government accept her recommendations about what needs to change? Today on The Signal, what we know about the ugly workplace culture at the heart of our democracy, and whether there is sufficient political will to fix it.
