Liberal Party looking at replacements for Scott Morrison in state parliament
Senior Liberals are casting their eye on members of the NSW government to take over former prime minister Scott Morrison’s seat while urging him to not resign before next year’s state election.
While Speakman would not entertain a run for Cook before the state poll, members of the moderate faction would urge him to make the switch to federal politics if NSW Premier Dominic Perrottet loses the election. Morrison suffered a 6.6 per cent swing against him in the seat at the election, but it is still considered a safe seat on a 12.4 per cent margin.
A spokesperson for Morrison said the member for Cook “knows the issues are important but at the same time, he was happy to join in on the joke at his own expense”.
