NSW Labor upper-house MP Shaoquett Moselmane was yesterday suspended from the NSW Labor party after his Sydney home was raided by both the AFP and ASIO in relation to alleged infiltration of Mr Moselmanes’ office by Chinese government agents.
Mr Moselman was known for his public support of China, recently praising Chinese president Xi Xingping's response to the COVID-19 pandemic on his personal website.
In a statement, leader of the NSW Labor party Jodi McKay outlined that she was aware of the allegations and that Mr Moselmanes’ party membership would remain suspended pending the ongoing investigations.
