Adem Somyurek reveals ‘systematic corruption’ around red shirts rort, says Labor ‘stole election’
Adem Somyurek has laid the blame for the infamous red shirts rort squarely at the feet of Daniel Andrews, telling Sky News Australia’s Peta Credlin: “We effectively stole the 2014 election”.
Former Labor minister Adem Somyurek has labelled Labor’s 2014 red shirts rort as “systematic corruption” and said the party led by Daniel Andrews "stole" the election.
In an exclusive interview with Sky News Australia host Peta Credlin airing tonight at 6pm, Mr Somyurek outlines exactly how Labor conducted its 2014 election rort and the measures the party took once the scandal became public.
“This is systematic corruption,” he said. "Time sheets, six months of time sheets signed. So we collectively, systematically stole, they say $400,000."
"I reckon it was probably more than that and you’ve got to call it for what it is. We effectively stole the 2014 state election."

It comes after Mr Somyurek’s successful push for the red shirts rort to again be referred to the Victorian Ombudsman and for Mr Andrews to be investigated for his role in “designing, propagating, and facilitating” the scheme.
The former Labor powerbroker says he is only able to speak out about the allegations because he is not part of the team.
