Summary

Queensland Labor has expelled its member Jimmy Sullivan from the caucus after allegations of domestic violence made by the Liberal National Party in parliament. Despite denying the claims and stating he complied fully with party health protocols following his leave, Miles labeled the expulsion as a "cheap political move." The vote to remove Sullivan came amid extended leave taken due to personal and health reasons, with all other MPs supporting the motion but not providing specific details on how they would handle his return.
