Victorian Liberal leader denies bullying reports

The allegations in the Herald Sun newspaper claim Mr Pesutto accused Ms Heath of tampering with minutes.

Mr Pesutto told ABC Melbourne radio he had not bullied Ms Heath at the meeting and he did not know why she left in tears.

"If there were any truth in what the unnamed sources have told the Herald Sun I think you would have detected that over the years," he said.

"I lead an inclusive party that I'm trying to build after the third election loss that we suffered. 

"My style has always been professional and collaborative."
