NSW upper house member Catherine Cusack claims prime minister has ruined the Liberal party and says she will not vote for re-election of Coalition government
and “trashed” its values over two decades, as state director, “then as a scheming MP and now as prime minister finding loopholes in our constitution to delay preselections in order to get his way”.
“But he has outdone himself engineering a federal intervention to jump over the organisation all together. The NSW court of appeal is set to rule on Tuesday whether the takeover and resultant preselections complied with Liberal party rules., has spoken out about the exclusion of Ballina, Byron and Tweed from federal disaster payments, a decision reversed in mid-March.
Cusack said assistance was “extended to all northern rivers victims” after their exclusion became too “embarrassing”, but the prime minister now appears to be “refusing to engage NSW government on additional measures that are so needed for victims of this incredible disaster”. On Sunday Morrison blamed the allegations on “individuals who haven’t liked the answer they’ve got” from party preselection processes.
