Does it surprise you iza?

Mr Dastyari said yesterday: "Simon first joined the Labor Party on 2 April, 2004, and terminated his membership, via contacting the ALP office, on 26 November, 2008.

"Simon was a financial member for the duration of that period, with a brief period of being unfinancial, when his credit card details were rejected in late 2005."

This was promptly fixed, Mr Dastyari said, and it appeared Mr Sheikh then signed up for a three-year membership, which ensured he was a financial member for four years.

Mr Dastyari's intervention confirms reports in The Australian about Mr Sheikh's Labor Party membership.
