Mr Swan pledge the party would “act on” findings by an Independent Commission Against Corruption which could see Labor’s dominant right wing in NSW — “The Machine” as its operatives once grandly called it — lose power and personnel.
The right’s energy and authority have already been reduced by spectacular evidence to an ICAC inquiry which last night led to the NSW party’s general secretary Kaila Murnain being suspended.
