That’s pretty much all incorrect. Read the actual WH&S law:

Workplace bullying and the law

Workplace bullying is repeated, unreasonable behaviour directed at an employee or group of employees that creates a risk to health and safety.

Indeed, will a V1 cut with a 20 knot crosswind component in the sim be defined as bullying?
No because:

constructive comments which are objective and indicate observable deficiencies in performance or conduct and constructively delivered feedback or counselling intended to help employees to improve their work performance

(Ie feedback comments about on a sim) are not considered bullying.

Will taking over a mishandled approach on the line be considered bullying?
Again:

genuine and reasonable instructions

are not considered bullying.

Its looking like this new age workplace is not for the faint of heart.
You mean not for those who think being a complete knob to your co-workers is OK?
