The Australian Federal Police raided Labor Party offices last night after receiving complaints from the National Broadband Network Company over leaks of Commonwealth information to the media.

The AFP said it executed two search warrants in Melbourne yesterday as part of an investigation concerning “allegations of the unauthorised disclosure of Commonwealth information”.
