Labor councillor Milad El-Halabi 'most likely to benefit' from Moreland vote tampering, VCAT told

Retired electoral commissioner Phillip Green has given evidence that a newly elected Labor councillor is likely the only candidate who could have benefited from fraudulent votes in October’s tainted election in Moreland.
However, Mr Green, who was ACT electoral commissioner for 23 years, said there was no evidence before him that Milad El-Halabi rigged the election in the north-west ward.
The Age is not suggesting that Mr El-Halabi is involved in any wrongdoing.
The VEC is trying to establish how tainted the election was in the north-west ward of Moreland City Council.

The Victorian Electoral Commission called in police in October after it emerged that hundreds of ballot papers in the north-west ward of Moreland, which covers parts of Melbourne's north including Glenroy and Pascoe Vale, had been removed from letterboxes, filled in fraudulently and then posted to the commission.
