The Victorian Parliament is likely to refer the so-called red shirts rort to the Ombudsman after several crossbenchers indicated they would support former minister Adem Somyurek’s push to revisit the Labor Party’s misuse of almost $400,000 in public funds during the 2014 election campaign.
The motion will request the Ombudsman investigate what involvement Premier Daniel Andrews had, if any, in the scheme; the extent of branch stacking within the ALP; the politicisation of the public service; the Premier’s social media unit staff; and the “new trend” of factional powerbrokers working as lobbyists.60 Minutes
The Greens announced they would vote against the motion on the grounds they did not want to be part of “Labor’s factional warfare”, buthas confirmed seven crossbench MPs and the state opposition will support Mr Somyurek’s push.
