Andrew Bayly is fighting to clear his name and claims he was misled about the allegations against him before he resigned as a Cabinet Minister.
Bayly, the MP for Port Waikato, stood down as ACC and Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister after he “placed a hand” on a staff member’s arm during what he described as an “animated discussion” in February.
Bayley says the fact that no complaint had been made against him was contrary to what he was led to believe at the time - and he's determined to set the record straight.
Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper confirmed Bayly's now taken legal advice.
"There was never a formal complaint laid against Andrew Bayly, but he was led to believe that there was some serious complaints made against him."
