Labor is in factional turmoil as the federal ALP plans an overhaul of the Victorian branch following ‘industrial-scale’ branch stacking allegations. Norman & Dziedzic write:
“Mr Albanese has repeatedly referenced the NSW Lavarch review — conducted after the suspension of then-NSW Labor general secretary Kaila Murnain in 2019.
“We put Michael Lavarch in charge of the review in NSW,” Mr Albanese told reporters.
“We did it swiftly and we did it efficiently and we did it in a way that’s making a difference. And that’s a good thing that it’s occurring.”
One ALP figure told the ABC “we don’t normally look to Sydney to find salvation”.
