Former Australian top rating television personality Don Burke has been accused of sexually harassing and indecently assaulting women who worked on his gardening program in the 1980s and 1990s.
The man who hosted Bourke's Backyard on Australia's Nine Network for almost 17 years until it was cancelled in 2004 says he's "deeply hurt and outraged" by the claims, which he says were made by former employees with grudges against him and were baseless.
