Someone asked me this at a presentation on the new bullying laws last week. And the answer is “No.” In the seven weeks since the Fair Work Commission opened shop for bullying complaints, I haven’t yet had one framed in terms of the new legislation. That’s not to say they aren’t around: Fair Work Commission reported receiving 44 applications in January, which was under the estimate of 70 a month, but still a tidy number for a month when much of the country is still in holiday mode.
