Liberal Party backs former federal MP who lost his seat to a teal independent to fight to win it back.
Former Liberal MP Tim Wilson has been picked by his party to contest his former seat of Goldstein at the next Federal election.
A statement from the Liberal Party's Victorian division said Wilson was attempting to win back the seat because of his "deeply principled commitment to integrity in public service". "Families are struggling to pay their mortgages. Grandparents are having to pick up their grandchildren's school fees," he said.
It comes a day after the Victorian Liberal Party endorsed fintech executive Amelia Hamer as its candidate for Kooyong - the seat currently held by independent Monique Ryan, who won it off former treasurer Josh Frydenberg at the last election.
