Labor's national executive says the behaviour of a Victorian MP accused of branch stacking is reprehensible.
Adam Somyurek quit his membership of the Victorian ALP before the national executive met on Monday afternoon to kick him out of the party.
"The national executive committee has taken further steps to ensure that there will never be a place for Mr Somyurek in the ALP ever again," party president Wayne Swan said in a statement.
"The conduct of Mr Somyurek is reprehensible and at odds with everything the ALP stands for."
Victorian Premier Daniel Andrews has sacked the factional warlord from state cabinet over the explosive allegations, which he denies.
Federal Labor leader Anthony Albanese said Mr Somyurek's actions, along with sexist and homophobic remarks, had no place in the party.
"We will be meeting to take immediate action against Adem Somyurek and from that point in time, he will not be a member of the Australian Labor Party," he told reporters in Canberra.
Mr Somyurek is accused of handing over thousands of dollars in cash and using parliamentary employees to create fake branch members to gain influence within party's Victorian branch.
Mr Andrews has also referred him to Victoria's corruption watchdog and police.
This includes the possible involvement of federal Labor MP Anthony Byrne, as some of the footage of Mr Somyurek is filmed in his office.
Mr Albanese said he didn't know about Mr Byrne's role in the revelations.
"I don't know all the circumstances of it. That will all come out over time," he said.
Nine's 60 Minutes and The Age report alleges Mr Somyurek boasted of having influence over federal Labor MPs from Victoria.
Mr Swan said the ALP executive would respond to the wider issues raised in coming days.
