Labor to refer Angus Taylor to police over 'forged' document used to attack Clover Moore

Minister could face investigation as Sydney lord mayor calls on Taylor to release evidence to back up his 'implausible' claim

Labor is calling for a police investigation into whether a document was forged in Angus Taylor's office with the purpose of influencing the exercise of duty by the lord mayor of Sydney, Clover Moore, with Labor declaring it will refer the matter in the next 24 hours.

Labor rounded on the controversy-prone federal minister for emissions reduction in parliament on Thursday following a revelation by Guardian Australia that false figures were used by Taylor's office to unleash a political attack on Moore last month.
