State director Richard Shields is facing pressure to resign after the party failed to register many candidates for local government elections next month.
NSW Liberal leader Mark Speakman has intervened in the party’s local government election chaos, telling senior members, including federal Opposition Leader Peter Dutton, that the state director must resign immediately.
The Liberals’ local government campaign was left in chaos on Wednesday after the party missed the deadline to nominate candidates in a dozen council areas, including Lane Cove, Northern Beaches and Camden.Speaking on 2GB on Thursday, NSW Liberal deputy leader Natalie Ward said, “Clearly, there has been a failure here.
“We believe his position is no longer tenable. I want to be clear. This is unacceptable for our members. It’s unacceptable for the candidates. It’s unacceptable for the voting public who support our party and want to vote for a Liberal member of parliament.
