Former Tasmanian Labor leader David O'Byrne sends a letter to Labor members, describing the past few months as a 'difficult and painful period' in his life, to which his accuser replies furiously, questioning his use of party funds.

Former Labor leader David O'Byrne has written to all party members — including the woman who accused him of sexual harassment — to thank his supporters and "acknowledge ... a traumatic and confusing time" in his life.

Mr O'Byrne apologised for his behaviour and resigned as opposition leader, but later said he was cleared after an investigation found his conduct was "inappropriate and wrong" but did not breach Labor policy. "Along with the recent death of my Dad, this has been a deeply painful and difficult period in my life.

"He is using Labor party resources to directly send me correspondence that he would reasonably know has the potential to re-victimise and re-traumatise me," Ms Midson said.

‘Never again’: Labor on a potential power-share with the GreensLabor would enter into an agreement with the DEVIL if they thought it was the only way to win Government 😭😭😭 I've got friends and family that got fully vaxxed in August now they're complaining of chest aches and pains Heh, well this isn't good for the left at all. The main reason the right have been so powerful is that they don't care who they rub shoulders with as long as they take their side. Hence Trump getting support from the likes of the KKK.

My IP was the best solution.
