The New South Wales Labor leader, Chris Minns, has defended sacking a senior member of his shadow frontbench via voicemail less than 24 hours after giving her an ultimatum to come forward with evidence of corruption levelled against a candidate at the next election.
Minns announced he had sacked the Bankstown MP Tania Mihailuk from shadow cabinet on Sydney radio station 2GB on Friday morning, after she used parliamentary privilege to level serious accusations against her own party.
