Sex harassment common in Australian Federal Police

Almost half of the women working for Australia's national police force say they have been sexually harassed on the job, according to a report released on Monday.

The review of the workplace culture of the Australian Federal Police also found that more than 60 percent of the staff - men and women - reported being bullied.

"In the areas of sexual harassment and bullying, urgent action is required," said the report's author, former sex discrimination commissioner Elizabeth Broderick.
