Who was the hit man, the architect that enabled the sting, the set up.
Thats an example of stereotyping, fortunately more Australians are thinking about who they vote for & rejecting stereotypes, e.g the unionists rejecting Labor in NQ at the last Fed election.

Stacking happens in all parties to some degree, but the ALP is far more structurally susceptible to systemic stacking than the others.

Sounds liike those trying to make an issue of religion, or sexual abuse, even abuse of power .... sadly politics attracts narrow minded people who regularly view any issue with the verve of a footy cheer squad member.

What a campaigner of a bloke. Glad the ALP gave him the boot, and swiftly.

When did he previously do it? I wasn't aware. Google is only showing the latest allegations (obviously).

Corruption is a real problem in all political parties and 1 year jail should be the minimum for breaches and 10 as a minimum for major
(Credit card misuse, false expense claim, branch stacking is major)

He was sacked for bullying his staff, but his stacking has been reported on in the past.

Its impossible to be a powerbroker without being elbow deep in branch stacking. Its literally a job requirement.
You're right, but you can branch stack without breaking the law or party rules. Somyurek broke both brazenly and did it on an industrial scale.

Well, technically the ALP has rules against branch stacking but usually turns a blind eye. Its only when the media catch wind that they start to look at themselves.

branch stacking is actually easier from outside of the party and can deliver policy change. That is by definition "institutionalised corruption". So why have it if it is corrupt?

Did his explanation include details on how laws were being broken?
Otherwise its not quite the same. Im sure even those virtuous Greens and the Democrats did a bit of branch stacking.
The difference is when taxpayer money is getting used.
Why would they be talking to some random nuffy wearing a cheerleader uniform and handing out Labor HTV crds?

yep
anyone who believes corruption is limited to one side of politics and or not in their side of politics is kidding themselves.
we need reforms, laws and standards higher than that expected of our citizens. Unfortunately we have laws and expectations of our citizens and exemptions from our politicians and by default our political parties.
