AFL accused of being 'an arm of the Labor Party' after banning video

The AFL reportedly asked Jess Wilson to delete a social media post during a Collingwood-St Kilda match.
Jeff Kennett labeled the AFL as 'an arm of the Labor Party' over the incident.
AFL officials said the request did not come from AFL corporate affairs and denied involvement.
Jess Wilson defended the post, saying she would not be silenced.
The controversy centers on political neutrality and how the AFL handles copyright issues.
The post linked alleged $15 billion CFMEU corruption to the price of pies at the footy.
The AFL disputed involvement of communications staff in approving the post removal.
AFL spokesperson said McCrohan did not authorise the request and was unaware of it.
The piece was updated later the same day with more context and responses.
