Premier Daniel Andrews, state leader of the Australian state of Victoria, has denied any involvement in “branch stacking” activities which have been the focus of an anti-corruption inquiry into the state’s public service.

Federal Member of Parliament Anthony Byrne has given detailed testimony over the past two days of branch stacking within the Australian Labor Party (ALP) offices in Melbourne alleging ALP faction, the Socialist Left, was involved in the practice.
