Cuthbert has named 28 members of the ALP (State of QLD) which includes, current Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk 24th May 2022

Prime Minister and Australian Labor Party Leader, Anthony Albanese has promised to support a National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC). The National Anti-Corruption Commission will have broad jurisdiction to investigate serious and systemic corruption by Commonwealth ministers, public servants, ministerial advisers, statutory office holders, government agencies and MPs, Keeping government officials accountable.
One question still remains...
Who will hold political parties accountable?
One individual, Cairns Based Entrepreneur Shane Cuthbert, makes claim he is attempting to do just that. Mr Cuthbert is currently suing the Australian Labor Party (State of Queensland) over the cancellation of his membership over what he says involved “defamation and discrimination”. The Australian Labor Party this year, rejected claims of ‘bullying’ one of their own, first time Victorian Labor Senator Kimberley Kitching, who sadly passed away in March.
This is not the first time the toxic party’s culture has been exposed, NSW General Secretary Jamie Clements resigned after allegations of sexual harassment were raised by ALP staffer Stefanie Jones in 2016 and Ex-Labor MP Emma Husar just this year, slammed her former party, saying it is ‘toxic and manipulative’ describing Australia’s new PM as a ‘gaslighting narcissist’.
Cuthbert has named 28 members of the Australian Labor Party (State of Queensland) administrative committee which includes, current Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk.
The case of Cuthbert v State Secretary Julie-Ann Campbell is just one of more than half a dozen cases brought against political parties this year in NSW, VIC, SA and WA including the Camenzuli v Morrison case in NSW, which considered Businessman Matthew Camenzuli’s argument that LNP candidates Ley, Hawke and Zimmerman were not preselected according to the Liberal party’s constitution, and the federal executive acted beyond its powers by appointing former PM Scott Morrison, NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet and LNP President Christine McDiven.
Cuthbert says, “There has never been a better time than right now, to clean up the government and the political parties” before adding, “I joined the ALP because I believed in its core values and treating people fairly, I’m very disappointed things have come to this”.
Lawyers for the ALP executives are relying on the 1934 case Cameron v Hogan, that involved the expulsion of Former Victorian Premier Edward John Hogan from the party, inevitably removing him from that position. In that case, the High Court decided Courts should not involve themselves with internal matters of political parties. Mr Cuthbert has challenged this decision and says the 1934 decision is “bad law” in the wake of recent advances to the rules of contract. Mr Cuthbert says, “Just because my rights were violated by a political party, does not mean I should have less access to justice, than if I was mistreated by anyone else”.
Cuthbert’s case will be heard in the Cairns Supreme Court on Thursday 2:15PM by Justice Bradley, who is expected to make a decision as to the justiciability of the case and whether Mr Cuthbert’s case will continue moving forward.
