The Liberal Party has called in Malcolm Turnbull amid fears Sydney voters are preparing to savage Gladys Berejiklian nswvotes
The Liberal Party has called in Malcolm Turnbull to campaign during the final days of the NSW election amid growing fears Sydney's eastern suburbs are preparing to savage Premier Gladys Berejiklian.
Mr Turnbull was criticised last year for not doing more to help prevent the blue ribbon Sydney seat of Wentworth from falling to independent Kerryn Phelps in a byelection sparked by his resignation from Parliament. Describing himself as a "fellow resident" of the area, Mr Turnbull's letter will be delivered on Wednesday and praises Mr Notley-Smith as "one of the most outstanding community advocates I have ever known".
Coogee, which is held by the Coalition on a margin of just 2.9 per cent, is expected to fall to Labor's Marjorie O'Neill on Saturday however Liberal sources said Mr Turnbull's efforts had made a difference in minimising the damage.
