Minister Adem Somyurek quits Victorian Labor Party after being sacked from cabinet

Australian Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese earlier described the bombshell branch-stacking allegations against Mr Adem Somyurek as "corruption", insisting he would be expelled from the Australian Labor Party (ALP) in addition to his sacking from the ministry.

The investigation by The Age and 60 Minutes alleged Mr Somyurek handed over thousands of dollars in cash and used parliamentary employees to create fake branch members and amass political influence within the Australian Labor Party. https://www.9news.com.au/national/victo ... a5ac63622c

Andrews made it clear he was sacked, I believe.

I'm sort of feeling nostalgic.
Reminds me of the 16 years of hell and corruption under the NSW state Labor Party.
Thank god it is your turn.
I never want to see something like that, here in NSW, in my lifetime ever again. :wink:

Robin Scott and Marlene Kairouz also look like they will lose their jobs for branch stacking

This branch-staking nonsense happens on both sides of the political divide.

You have to be a certain type of person to want to be in politics.
And you voluntarily play the game when you enter "The Door" of the political arena.
