Social activist turned political staffer Sally Rugg has launched a legal challenge for unfair dismissal against a federal Teal MP over claims she was sacked for refusing to work unreasonable hours.

Rugg was hired as chief of staff to Monique Ryan last year after the doctor successfully challenged then-treasurer Josh Frydenberg for the seat of Kooyong in the May 2022 election.
