Highly confidential preselection documents belonging to former Pittwater MP Rory Amon have been leaked to 7 NEWS . Amon resigned from the Liberal Party and his seat in the NSW Parliament back in August when he was charged with 10 historical child sex offences and is due to make a Local Court appearance next week. In the documents, submitted to Liberal head office on October 6 2022, Amon declares: “I have never been accused of any domestic or child abuse of any kind.
“All the parties need to be as careful as possible when preselecting candidates, that’s particularly important when you consider the position of trust people in parliament have in their communities.” Amon denies all the charges. In his preselection application, he wrote: “I have been a flag bearer for Liberal party values.” The application came with glowing recommendations addressed to then-state director Chris Stone.
