It was revealed in late night hearing of Senate Estimates that the independent review of the culture of the Armidale-based Australian Pesticides and Veterinary Medicines Authority (APVMA) has been abandoned on legal advice.
The CEO of the Armidale based public service agency APVMA has taken extended leave and has been replaced by an executive from the Department of Agriculture while an independent review of the organisation is completed.
Police will be brought into investigate the behaviour of staff of an Armidale based federal government agency following claims a staff member was urinated on.
