The ALP has been plunged into fresh turmoil after explosive texts from a Labor MP connected with former powerbroker Adem Somyurek were leaked to the media.
Key points:
- Federal Labor MP Anthony Byrne reportedly savaged colleagues in private text messages
- Mr Byrne says the messages leaked to the media have been “selectively released”
- Opposition Leader Anthony Albanese says he has counselled Mr Byrne over his language
A document has been circulated to some media outlets with dozens of personal texts from Federal Labor MP Anthony Byrne.
Mr Byrne’s office was used to film covert footage of former Victorian Minister Adem Somyurek which later appeared on a 60 Minutes episode alleging widespread branch staking in the Victorian ALP.
