Attempt to stop union from voting has prompted the soft left to threaten to divide the faction
An ugly preselection brawl within theLabor left has threatened to split the faction ahead of the next state election, amid accusations of “rorts”, legal threats and ongoing criminal charges over allegations of union officials accepting bribes.
The attempt to stop the CFMEU from voting in the preselection has prompted the soft or “Ferguson” left to threaten to split the faction at NSW Labor’s next state conference in October. “The exclusion of members by the Left leadership and in the party itself through executive decision making and fixes must end and we will challenge this to ensure a fair ballot.”
“We are not against the current MLC’s that are seeking re-election but believe there is no right for them to be protected in their position and that there should be a fair ballot for the left to choose our team.”
