Matthew Guy, with wife Renae, conceding defeat on election night in November.she now plans to lodge a formal complaint about her treatment with the Victorian Equal Opportunity and Human Rights Commission and has engaged lawyers to seek an apology and compensation because she only received two days’ pay.
“I was consistently the person left out of meetings and conversations,” Chanel said, adding she wanted to speak out to take a stand against racism and ensure it was stamped out. Two weeks before her contract expired, Chanel was offered a contract extension to work with the policy team, but she declined the offer at a February 28 meeting and raised the racism claims with Pesutto and her manager.
