Labor anger after NBN employee spread raid photos before files were sealed

ALP complains to Australian federal police that photos taken and disseminated from raid on Stephen Conroy's office could have included its broadband policy

Labor has complained to the Australian federal police that an NBN staff member disseminated photos taken during Thursday night's police raid on the former communication minister Stephen Conroy's office which could have included the party's broadband policy.

The federal Labor party was engaged in a legal wrangle with the AFP for most of Friday and has secured agreement that the material seized in the dramatic late-night raids, part of an investigation into damaging leaks regarding the National Broadband Network, is covered by parliamentary privilege and will be sealed and stored by the clerk of the Senate, probably until parliament resumes after the election campaign.
