Shorten is a captive of the Catholic Right faction in Sussex Street where Dastyari rigged the voting to get Shorten the nod as Leader.
An internal ALP Tribunal discovered the mailing addresses for 50 ballot papers in the 2013 leadership ballot between Shorten and Albanese were altered by Dastyari’s NSW Labor Head Office in Sussex Street.
The Tribunal said this was done at the request of Michael Buckland, then a senior staff member of Dastyari’s Office who was also a key member of the NSW Labor right faction that supported Shorten.
