(Australia Twitter)-The ALP state executive is due to meet at 10am today, in conjunction with a special meeting of the national executive, to suspend the MP from the party before state parliament resumes tomorrow.
The move allows the MP to remain in Parliament as an independent. However, conviction would result in immediate expulsion from office and the party.
Mr Rann led the push to have the Labor MP charged with child pornography charges suspended from the ALP during a phone hookup this morning, which included members of the state and national executive.
Mr Brown yesterday made no apologies for the hardline approach, even as some members of caucus expressed concern the presumption of innocence had been cast aside for political reasons.
Earlier, Mr Rann said he had asked the ALP to suspend the member while the MP's case was before the courts.
"I have asked the Labor Party both at the state and national level to suspend the MP who's been charged," Mr Rann said this morning.
Mr Iles said he could not reveal the "instructions" he had from the MP about whether he would take his seat in parliament as an independent if he were suspended from the Labor Party.
All references to the Labor MP have been removed from the ALP website.
Parliament will tomorrow be warned not to name the Labor MP at the centre of a child pornography scandal as doing so would jeopardise the court case.
Speaker Lyn Breuer yesterday said she would also intervene to prevent the accused being named if she believed an MP was intending to do so.
Mr Rau is the dominant Right faction's choice to replace Mr Rann, should he step aside or be forced to quit before the next election.
Mr Rann and possibly Right faction powerbroker Tom Koutsantonis will miss tomorrow's caucus meeting, the first since the child porn scandal erupted last month.
Ms Breuer said she would warn Parliament when sitting resumed of serious consequences for naming the charged Labor MP.
"It's about the impact it can have actually on the trial we've got to be careful about," she said yesterday.
"Sometimes somebody can release a name or something in public and the trial falls into a heap because the evidence has been distorted.
"They need to be very, very careful about what they say
