‘Bullied’ Oil Search CFO launches whistleblowing test case

Former Oil Search chief financial officer Ayten Saridas has accused the company of breaching whistleblowing protections in a move that dramatically broadens her bullying claims against the energy group that merged with Santos.

Barrister Ian Neil SC, acting on behalf of Oil Search, told the NSW Supreme Court on Wednesday the defence might also look to fight the new whistleblowing claims as it attempts to get the original application thrown out.
