The Federal Executive of the Liberal Party has requested that the New South Wales Division appoint three eminent Australians as a committee of management to replace its State Executive.
This follows a report given to the Federal Executive by Mr Brian Loughnane AO relating to the New South Wales Division’s failure to nominate candidates for local government elections and the preparedness of the Division to fight the upcoming federal election.
The Federal Executive has recommended a committee of the Hon Alan Stockdale AO, the Hon Rob Stokes, and the Hon Richard Alston AO be appointed for a period of 10 months.
The New South Wales Division has been asked to comply with this request by next Thursday.
We owe it to our thousands of members in the state to address the challenges within the organisational wing of the NSW Division. More importantly, we owe it to the millions of Australians who are relying on the Liberal Party to return Australia to good government after the next election to get our house in order.
