Adem Somyurek: Factional ally Marlene Kairouz caught in branch stacking scandal
By 9News Staff 6:14am Jun 16, 2020

Labor MP’s under pressure to resign amid Somyurek scandal.


Another Victorian Cabinet minister and factional ally of dumped Labor powerbroker Adem Somyurek has become embroiled in the branch stacking scandal.

Consumer Affairs, Gaming and Liquor Regulation Minister Marlene Kairouz is facing allegations in 'The Age' on Tuesday she encouraged taxpayer-funded parliamentary staff to work on branch stacking, a process of rigging party memberships to boost power within a party.

Ms Kairouz is also recorded describing as "excellent" the use of parliamentary officers to run the operation.

She also directs staff to challenge any attempts by Labor's Left to weed out branch-stacked members.
Ms Kairouz has denied the allegations.

Victorian federal MP Bill Shorten told Today the ALP had made every effort to clean up branch stacking amid the allegations.
"Every person's credentials need to be checked again. Did they pay for it, their own membership?"

On Monday night Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Veteran Affairs Robin Scott resigned from cabinet to avoid "distraction" for the government but vowed to clear his name.
Mr Scott said in a statement today that he found the allegations against Mr Somyurek "especially confronting" and will relinquish his positions as state Assistant Treasurer and Minister for Veterans' Affairs to avoid any distraction during the investigation.

"To the extent that these matters relate to my conduct, I look forward to the opportunity to clear my name. I am very confident that the investigative process will do so," he said in the statement.
"However, I am conscious of the burden that this process will take on myself and my young family. I am also concerned at the distraction my involvement in the process may cause for the Government.
"I have therefore notified the Premier that I will stand aside from my Ministerial responsibilities, and I have notified the Governor of the resignation of my commission, effective immediately.
"I will continue to serve my electorate of Preston to the best of my ability, and I remain grateful to have the privilege of doing so."
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews on Monday said Mr Somyurek was sacked from the ministry, counteracting the former minister's claim he resigned, in the wake of the explosive allegations reported in a joint investigation by 60 Minutes and The Age.

‘F**k the premier’: Labor’s secret tapes reveal industrial scale stackathon
By Nick McKenzie, Sumeyya Ilanbey and Joel Tozer JUNE 14, 2020

On a clear autumn day just before noon one of the most powerful politicians in Victoria drove into a suburban shopping centre car park, got out of his four-wheel-drive and walked briskly to an ATM. He used two bank cards to withdraw a wad of cash.

Wearing a dark blue sweater, balding and slightly paunchy, Adem Somyurek strode towards the shopping centre as if on an ordinary grocery run. But he then spun around and walked back to his car. He drove to the furthest parking spot, opposite a Red Rooster.

With the money stuffed into a blue folder along with Labor membership forms, the state cabinet minister waited for the handover. His bagman Nick McLennan, a senior adviser to another of Premier Daniel Andrews’ ministers, was on his way. After arriving, McLennan made his way to Somyurek’s car, leant into the driver’s side window and took the folder filled with $50 notes.

AAP news.com.auJUNE 15, 2020 6:31AM

A senior Victorian government minister has been accused of branch-stacking amid accusations he called the Minister for Women a “b*tch”.


A senior Victorian government minister has been accused of branch-stacking using both taxpayer funds and his own cash while taking aim at his former colleagues in the process.

An investigation by The Age and 60 Minutes has revealed upper house MP Adem Somyurek handed over thousands of dollars in cash and used parliamentary employees to create fake branch members and amass political influence within the Australian Labor Party.

Mr Somyurek also takes aim at his colleagues, including fellow Labor minister Marlene Kairouz, who he describes as holding a “meaningless” portfolio “made up just to make it look like we’re interested in the suburbs”.

He labels the Minister for Women and the Prevention of Family Violence Gabrielle Williams a “stupid bitch” whom he will “f***ing force … out of the ministry”.

Somyurek also describes these young staffers helping him as “patronising and annoying”, and “real little f***ing slimy little f***ers, little passive- aggressive f***ing gay kids”.’

BRANCH STACKING ACCUSATIONS

Footage shows Mr Somyurek on April 13 withdrawing $2000 in cash from an ATM, before handing it and dozens of party membership forms, to an adviser working for Ms Kairouz, who then delivers the forms and cash to ALP head office.


Oh my God does Labor corruption ever end ?

'Who's going to protect Albo': Tapes show how powerbroker controls ALP
By Nick McKenzie, Joel Tozer and Sumeyya Ilanbey June 14, 2020 — 8.35pm

A Victorian Labor Party powerbroker has threatened to end the careers of several federal MPs, while also claiming to be “protecting” Anthony Byrne, deputy chair of the Australian Parliament’s powerful intelligence committee.


Adem Somyurek, a cabinet minister in the Victorian state government and a member of the ALP national executive, has talked about his political reach in Canberra extending to federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese, declaring: “Who’s going to protect Albo?”


Secret footage shows MP Adam Somyurek handing cash to a Labor party staffer in a suburban car park. Warning: offensive language.


Mr Somyurek, who says he controls nearly two-thirds of the Victorian ALP, has been captured on secret audio and video recordings running an “industrial-scale” branch-stacking operation that would reshape the make-up of Labor Party branches at federal and state level and give him control of which MPs sit in Parliament.

As a member of the ALP national executive, and with his control over Labor Party branches, Mr Somyurek has huge sway over who gets the right to contest federal seats or is gifted a safe seat.

Read on about the endless corruption in the Union and Greeny controlled Labor Party.
