NSW Police refers Angus Taylor doctored documents investigation to AFP

The NSW Police has referred its investigation into potentially falsified documents used to politically attack Sydney’s lord mayor, Clover Moore, to the Australian Federal Police.

In September, The Daily Telegraph published a page three story quoting a letter sent by energy minister Angus Taylor to Sydney lord mayor Clover Moore, which claimed that Moore’s council spent more than $15m on international and domestic travel. That figure contrasted with the council’s annual report, which showed $4,206.32 and $1,727.77 spent on domestic and overseas out-of-pocket travel costs, respectively.

Taylor apologised, but was adamant he downloaded the figures from the council’s website
