Last Thursday Victorian police raided the homes of 17 former state Labor party campaign staff, who were arrested and interviewed with no charges laid.
Former Labor campaign organiser Jake Finnigan was one of the 17 but the only one to report being strip-searched and placed in a holding cell.
The raids occurred after the police’s decision late last month to launch a criminal investigation into Labor’s misuse of taxpayers’ money to pay campaign staff, dubbed the “Red Shirts” affair.
