In an extraordinary late-night speech made to parliament, Mihailuk accused Canterbury-Bankstown mayor Khal Asfour of being linked to corrupt former minister Eddie Obeid.In her speech, Mihailuk, the MP for Bankstown, told parliament it would be a disastrous outcome for the party if Asfour remained on the ticket and said it left her no option but to launch an attack on her own party.
“I’ve spoken to Tania Mihailuk and said that she cannot stay in the shadow cabinet and launch political attacks by parliamentary privilege,” he said.“There are correct ways of presenting information about potential or alleged illegal conduct and using parliamentary privilege at 11.30 at night in the NSW parliament is not one of them,” he said.
“I challenge her to repeat those outrageous and unsubstantiated claims outside the Parliament”, Asfour said.
