Mr. Kevin Rudd
Member of the ALP

Dear Sir,
As I show in correspondence dated July 8 2013 you recently called for a Federal intervention into the NSW Branch of the ALP. You also stated any corruption found will not be swept under the carpet, and any finding of adverse conduct will see that member expelled from the Labor Party.
