Terry Campese has withdrawn as the Labor candidate for Monaro, declaring that he does not want his past to be dragged through the media.

It comes after a series of revelations from The Daily Telegraph, including that the former NRL star visited his close friend and convicted drug dealer Adam Hunter in jail to raise funds for his youth charity.
