Anthony Albanese has backed his Victorian federal colleagues after a state powerbroker was accused of branchstacking in the state Labor party.

Victorian Labor minister Adem Somyurek has resigned from cabinet following explosive branch stacking allegations, which he rejects.

"With respect to allegations made around memberships of the party, I reject those and will be providing a rigorous defence during any party process," he said in the statement. In the recordings, Mr Somyurek labels the Minister for Women and the Prevention of Family Violence Gabrielle Williams a"stupid bitch" whom he will"f***ing force ... out of the ministry".

"While Ms Williams and I have been at odds factionally for many years, I should not have used the language I did about her and I apologise to her unequivocally. "They are doing a good job representing their local electorates and they deserve better than to be distracted by this bloke."He earlier said the allegations were unacceptable.
