Minister Andrew Bayly apologises for telling person to 'f*** off'
Commerce Minister Andrew Bayly has apologised for his conduct after a complaint that he repeatedly called a worker "a loser" and swore at him while on a business visit. The employee formally complained after the visit, saying Mr Bayly told him to "f*** off" and repeatedly called him a loser, making an 'L' with his fingers on his forehead. The worker said the minister's actions left him feeling "degraded, embarrassed and deeply disrespected". Minister Andrew Bayly spoke to Lisa Owen.
