The Labor leader said Ms Mihailuk could not “launch repeated political attacks without substantiated documents using parliamentary privilege” because it did not give Mr Asfour due process or opportunity to pursue legal action. “I said is there any more information that would substantiate what are pretty extraordinary claims against the Labor Party potential candidate and an elected member of the Council, the Canterbury-Bankstown Council. No information was given in that meeting,” he told the media.
