But is it true?
A former Andrews government minister has told state parliament he suspects ex-federal Labor MP Anthony Byrne is the politician ASIO revealed as betraying Australia to a foreign power.
Upper House MP Adem Somyurek used parliamentary privilege on Wednesday to call on the nation’s intelligence agency to investigate the former Labor MP who was also his ex-mate.
Mr Somyurek, who now sits in parliament as a Democratic Labour Party member, blames Mr Byrne for his demise four years ago as a Labor powerbroker and launched a scathing attack on his integrity.
ASIO needs to out the spy to stop this scuttlebutt if that is what it is.
Nobody would be surprised if it were a Dan Andrews’ minister, but, for heaven’s sake, just name the two traitors.
One of them might be Anthony Albanese, judging from this:
Now, it can be revealed DFAT was aware about China Rainbow’s connection to United Front – a group of organisations that work to improve the Chinese Communist Party’s legitimacy and influence abroad.
The department failed to inform Football Australia, and the event went ahead as planned.
Opposition Foreign Affairs spokesperson Claire Chandler said it was astounding DFAT didn’t pass this knowledge on to Football Australia.
“Traitor” has no meaning any more.
