The Labour Party has confirmed outgoing Police Minister and current senior MP Ginny Andersen is the subject of a bullying complaint relating to her alleged behaviour towards young party volunteers on election night.
The complaint, which 1News has obtained, came from the mother of one the volunteers.
It said Andersen yelled and screamed at her daughter and son on election night about them not doing enough volunteering and made them feel like they were to blame for her losing the Hutt South seat.
The complainant said Andersen behaved aggressively towards her children and made them leave Labour's election venue.
Andersen has repeatedly refused to answer phone calls from 1News today about the allegations.

This afternoon, Labour's chief press secretary Andrew Campbell issued a statement that was attributed to Andersen.
"I'm aware a complaint has been made about comments I've made in the past.
"I'm really sorry if my comments caused hurt.
"I'm committed to fully engage in the Labour Party process to resolve the matter."
The main complaint relates to Andersen's behaviour less a month ago on election night.
This morning Labour's general secretary Rob Salmond refused to even confirm whether or not a complaint had been received about Andersen's behaviour.
A short time ago he confirmed it had been.
