Yet another 'captain's pick' is on the cards.....
The
Canberra Times,
31 March 2019:
A Liberal vying to become the party's
candidate for Craig Laundy's old seat has delivered an astonishing condemnation
of the closed-door selection process, just as Prime Minister Scott Morrison
prepares to name his captain's pick for the hotly contested Sydney electorate.
Controversial psychiatrist and writer
Tanveer Ahmed - who is among a number of people under consideration for the job
- slammed the process as unfair and undemocratic, arguing he had been denied
the opportunity to confront his challengers.
It is expected Mr Morrison could
recommend a candidate to replace Mr Laundy in the inner west seat of Reid as
soon as Sunday, to be rubber-stamped by the party's state executive on Monday.
The Sun-Herald understands Dr
Ahmed met with Mr Morrison's principal private secretary Yaron Finkelstein and
factional powerbroker Alex Hawke, the Special Minister of State, and has been
positively vetted.
But Mr Morrison is said to be
considering other options including two women and failed state election
candidate for Kogarah, Scott Yung. Liberal pollsters have also gauged
support for Coca Cola executive Tanya Baini.
