Who is on the independent panel?
The independent panel investigating MP bullying is made up of independent experts, not MPs. It's part of Parliament's Independent Complaints and Grievance Scheme (ICGS), set up to handle complaints like the one against Tony Vaughan. This ensures a fair and impartial process, separate from political influence, when serious allegations are made against elected representatives.
