State secretary, Wayne Forno, is demanding wayneforno.com.au be handed back, along with four other domain names, including tonysheldon.com.au, the name of the federal secretary, and twu.nsw.com.au

Mr Forno said he was concerned the official who registered the domain names, Mark Ptolemy, a spokesman for the National Union of Workers and a NSW Labor administrative committee member, could be planning a smear campaign.

Mr Ptolemy told the paper that it was his ''hobby'' to register domain names but conceded he had only registered names connected to the transport union.
