Labor MP Luba Grigorovitch apologises after it emerged that she backed a person accused or involved in domestic abuse when providing a character reference. According to multiple reports, she made the apology following a review of her past references. Grigorovitch says she will no longer provide character references after finding that six of the 33 references she has made since 2022 were unsuitable. The reports also state that, in addition to the domestic abuse-related case, there were five other instances where references were assessed as inappropriate. The outlets describe her decision as a response to the discovery that some recipients should not have been supported through her submissions. Grigorovitch does not dispute that she provided the references but frames her actions as part of the lesson learned from the review. The coverage is consistent across outlets that she apologises, identifies the number of references involved, and announces an end to her involvement in writing character references going forward.
