An exiled Liberal Party member’s legal challenge that threatened to sabotage Prime Minister Scott Morrison’s election campaign has been thrown out by the High Court.

NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet and Liberal figure Christine McDiven, who, with Mr Morrison, formed a small committee to handpick candidates, were also among the respondents in the court action, with Mr Stone and federal Liberal director Andrew Hirst among those Mr Camenzuli was seeking to add.
