Federal Police raids Labor party offices in Melbourne.

The Australian Federal Police are raiding Labor party offices in Melbourne, Labor frontbencher Tony Burke has confirmed.

The AFP has said it is conducting operational activities in the area as part of an ongoing investigation, but would not provide details of the operation.

Mr Burke said there were allegations that documents had been leaked from the NBN.

“There’s no doubt the leaks that came from the NBN caused immense damage to Malcolm Turnbull when they showed that the cost blowout of the NBN, the fact that it was slower, the fact that it was going to be delayed,” Mr Burke said.

More to come.
