NSW Labor boss Kaila Murnain has been suspended after she told ICAC she was told to 'forget' about a revelation the party may have accepted an illegal donation.


NSW Labor boss Kaila Murnain has been suspended after explosively telling an anti-corruption inquiry she knew about a potential illegal donation made to the ALP.

Senior party officials held an emergency meeting on Wednesday night after NSW Labor leader Jodi McKay said she had lost confidence in the general secretary's judgment and called on the party to suspend her.

NSW Labor resolved to suspend Ms Murnain from her position at the late-night meeting.
