A senior New South Wales Labor figure has been charged by the NSW Electoral Commission.
Jamie Clements, the party’s former state general secretary, is expected to face court next month after being charged with two offences, including allegations he disclosed protected information in May last year.
A month later it is alleged the then NSW Labor general secretary used information legally provided by the commission to the NSW Labor party for a purpose not permitted by legislation.
He is expected to face Downing Centre local court on 7 June.
Each offence carries a maximum penalty of $22,000.
