NSW Liberals leader Mark Speakman has removed Wes Fang from the shadow cabinet, sparking a civil war in the Coalition.
A bitter brawl has split the NSW Coalition after Opposition Leader Mark Speakman sacked a Nationals MP from his shadow cabinet for making derogatory comments about the Liberals.
“Did he ask the ‘Coalition’ member who lives in Wagga Wagga and is apparently part of his ‘team’ to have in-depth discussion of Wagga Wagga? No.” A source with knowledge of the situation, but unauthorised to speak, said Speakman raised Fang’s behaviour with Saunders and asked him to reprimand Fang and remove him from the shadow cabinet.
“As Wes is a member of the NSW Nationals, myself and my leadership team have formed the view that he is unable to be stood down in this way.”
