I strongly support the decision today of the Federal Executive of the Liberal Party to intervene in the affairs of the New South Wales Division of the Party.

The Executive has appointed a high quality three person committee of management to administer the affairs of the NSW Division until 30 June 2025.

I congratulate both the Federal Opposition Leader, Peter Dutton, and John Olsen, the Federal President of the Liberal Party, for the leadership and initiative they have displayed on this challenging issue.

As a Life Member of the NSW Division, I care deeply about its place in the national affairs of the Liberal Party. Today’s decision will ensure that all elements of the Party in NSW are better able to assist in achieving our immediate and most important goal which is the defeat of the Albanese Labor Government.
