There’s a long history with this, and a strong divide on both sides of the accusations, most of which can be pieced together by reading news stories from over the last 8 years.
As of now, Craig McLachlan, the actor accused of inappropriate workplace conduct in 2014/2015 has removed himself from the upcoming Australian tour of Cluedo (the Hunter Foster-associated Clue, just under a different title) due to theatre industry anger and backlash over his employment.

The link shouldn’t be paywalled but if so, many other outlets are reporting on it under the same key words in a search engine.

All I’m saying about this is, Ms Brown is not all the innocent either.
Well I didn't want to get into it, but he's a Satanist.
Every full moon he sacrifices 4 puppies to the Dark Lord and smears their blood on his paino.
This should help you understand the score for Wicked a little bit more.

Geoffrey Rush is apparently the replacement, which is pretty huge for an Australian ensemble comedy.

I have read this among the comments over the years also. Broadly and varied enough that there’s got to be truth to it.

John Frost and Crossroads are ultimately to blame here. They surely didn’t have the foresight to market test the cast or have conversations with the overall Australian theatre community prior to the announcement.
Craig playing the victim card is pathetic as well, he shouldn’t have accepted the part to begin with.

I think you'll find that was a joke by someone on social media were i saw that yesterday given Geoffrey Rush had similar allegations against him.a few years ago. I can find no other confirmation that he's doing it.
