In the fair state of Victoria, the highly ethical conduct of the political class is being revealed for all to see, with the Labor Party branch stacking inquiry. The practice has been rife for many years, going back to at least the 1990s. As political nerds would remember, in the 1996 Australian federal election, Senator Gareth Evans moved to the House of Representatives, winning the safe Labor seat of Holt. After the 1998 election, not wanting to spend another term in opposition, he decided to resign from Parliament to pursue other opportunities. He was not involved in a factional preselection battle with his replacement, Anthony Byrne, as this article erroneously states.
