Senior Labor Party members in Fowler are furious about an outside candidate being “parachuted” into their electorate – but it’s not former premier Kristina Keneally.
Another party member said there was confusion when Mr Hayes turned up to support Ms Le, as she introduced herself as the prospective candidate at a Cabramatta branch meeting this year.“We were all questioning, why?” the member said. “There are plenty of other talented people who have been here for 20 years.”
Earlier this year Mr Hayes described Ms Le as “someone who has grown up in our local area … and has demonstrated now for a long period of time her ongoing commitment to advancing the interests of our area.”Amid the fallout from Labor’s head office intervention, Ms Le took to Facebook this week to acknowledge the interest in her background, writing she was not a person to broadcast her life or achievements on social media.
She said she had been a member of the ALP’s Sefton branch in Blaxland since university but joined the Cabramatta branch in Fowler last year. “I would have welcomed a competitive preselection process, with other candidates throwing their hat in the ring,” she said.“I am pretty confident that if it was a rank-and-file vote, I would have won.”“There’s no support for her because she’s new. Tu appeared at her first branch meeting in Fowler earlier this year,” the member said. “No one knows her.”
carriefellner Wow - punching down of a WoC to protect the ALP establishment. Really classy. ALP should just focus on running a fair pre-selection process over this crap. Le lives & works in western Sydney. And Keneally's connection to western Sydney electorate is what?
carriefellner This just in: You and your coward sources are grasping little worms.
carriefellner Omfg, they think this comparable just making Keneally and Albanese come of worse.
carriefellner Storm in a teacup
carriefellner The Labor Party is full of unscrupulous people...yes,thanks, we knew that already...yawn
carriefellner Imagine being proud of this and putting your name to it carriefellner 🤢
carriefellner Still sounds like she has more of a community connection than Keneally.
carriefellner I'm convinced the only people in Labor who actually give a shit about their jobs are the dirt units.
carriefellner 🙄 Is this still a thing?
carriefellner Oh Carrie. Get another job. Zero credibility after this.
carriefellner
carriefellner Name one entity more damaging to the Labor party's reputation than Labor politicians lmao
carriefellner As someone who used to live in the Fowler district, Bankstown is way closer than Scotland Island and I'm pretty sure I have more in common with the people of Bankstown than anyone who lives on island gated community
carriefellner We all are.... this is an atrocious act. Albanese should be ashamed of himself. He lives in a White Australian world where we play cricket on the street and all drive Holdens.
carriefellner this is so gross. AustralianLabor you preach diversity and inclusion then put out hit pieces on good, diverse candidates
carriefellner Scraping the bottom of the barrel in attempting to write a hit piece on AustralianLabor. ThisIsNotJournalism auspol
carriefellner It's just amazing that people in the ALP thought it would be a good idea to run their mouths to the press like that. This makes the ALP look even more dysfunctional and undemocratic (which it is). Then again factional warlords self-sabotaging is very on-brand.
carriefellner Someone remind us how Scott Morrison got his seat
carriefellner If this gets your Coalition loving panties in a twist wait until you find out how Barnaby Joyce got his seat 😱😱
carriefellner This is beyond pathetic. It's unpublishable dogshit, but here we are. Again, Keneally lives on the North Shore, not an adjacent electorate, and hasn't lived or worked in the community at all
carriefellner Was this meant to be a DM because you can't have tweeted it on purpose
carriefellner So she's from a nearby, diverse Labor electorate. Hardly parachuting, unlike KK who is from the other, far, side of the city.
carriefellner Typical Labor shit-show.
carriefellner “Karen Fellner” helping “Karen Keneally.”
carriefellner Costello bollocks.
carriefellner Pathetic distraction piece from MurdochGutterMedia in an attempt to lessen Labor support while refusing to cover blatant corruption within the LNP in NSW. What about climate change? Record-high land clearing in NSW? Regional towns like Wilcannia being left without water?
carriefellner Labor party getting less likeable by the minute with this spin; you are running out of people willing to vote for you.
carriefellner Lol, Tu Le's been 'parachuted' in when, if she'd tripped over where she lived before she would've landed in Fowler
bencubby carriefellner not very democratic is it
carriefellner I too make a living from publishing dirt unit smears
carriefellner 😅
bencubby carriefellner So interesting to read the dismay in the comments at two sides being presented. Test your assumptions!
carriefellner This is the worst sort of bullshit backgrounding that is only going to hurt the Labor party
carriefellner This is an absolutely absurd and transparent play.
carriefellner Imagine writing this and thinking that it’s public interest journalism
carriefellner In fairness, the average SMH journalist probably wouldn't know what suburbs were even near Canley Vale. 'Wait ... there are places WEST of Ashfield?!'
carriefellner Eddie Obeid’s sock puppet princess must be afraid that she is going to lose. auspol nswpol
carriefellner You really thought you did something here huh
carriefellner Wow. The ALP really are a bunch of elitist racist scumbags. Promoting a rich northern beaches white woman, a WASP if you like, to a south western seat and then complaining that a resident of south western Sydney was really the one parachuted in Definitely not getting my vote
carriefellner You grubs
carriefellner Labor their own worst enemy... they need to stop with this shit.
carriefellner This is a disgraceful article
When did you decide to start catering to people who don't want to understand politics
carriefellner Hard to imagine a journalist sinking any lower than agreeing to write a piece like this
carriefellner “It’s not fair for a sitting member to endorse one over others,” said Mr Shamaon, who has publicly backed Senator Keneally for the role. Hahahahah
carriefellner Yeah… this article just makes Keneally and the Labor establishment look grubby.
carriefellner Hey AustralianLabor - stop it, just stop it!
carriefellner 🤔🤦🏻♂️ NSW Labor Right in damage control, false equivalency someone from Nth shore cf someone from ‘next door’. All that is wrong with NSW Labor. Time for a clean out via NE intervention?
carriefellner Wow!! Going after a woman of colour. Looks like Tu Le is indeed getting all the love she deserves in the community which obviously is scaring a lot of people.
carriefellner Dogshit journalism.
carriefellner The casual, careless racism of the left journalist on display here
carriefellner Interesting follow up to the MurdochRiots
carriefellner another poor and disappointing piece of ‘journalism’ …
carriefellner
This is nothing but a bad faith, disingenuous attack on Tu Lee by Labor Right and Kristina Keneally. Sorry carriefellner, I like to respectful but journalists don't have to write & publish articles about everything political hacks send them.
carriefellner What's amazing is that anyone in the ALP would think this kind of thing would actually help their election chances.
carriefellner 😴
carriefellner Oh I get it. Sabotaging Tu Le will make KKeneally more appealing to the voters of Fowler.
carriefellner This just makes me want to read more on Tu Le, from the source. Going to follow her directly if I can.
carriefellner White coloniser mentality at it again
carriefellner Carrie? RU OK?
carriefellner Rank and file be damned. Just like in Hunter. Why would you publish this nonsense from the Labor right trying to paper over their bullshit.
carriefellner Try to create systemic change & you will be met by white resentment & perceived threat
carriefellner There is more hate within the ALP of it's own people than of the Opposition.
'Furious' LOL. Enjoy losing another election to the worst PM in living memory.
carriefellner Thank u Carrie for making me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon. Congrats to KKs team on this one though. Fuck.
carriefellner How does it feel to be used as a tool of faceless party hacks, you'll join The Lolstralian in no time
carriefellner The fake lives in Church Point do you really think she gives a damn about the west of Sydney.. KKeneally such a fake. Local seats need local people.
carriefellner Lol, pretty shameful to publish this blatant attempt to muddy the waters as straight news
carriefellner Seriously. We have the worst inept and corrupt federal government in I don’t know how long, and the labor party would still rather destroy themselves with their shitty factions instead of trying to win the election.
carriefellner Yeah I can see how KK is a better fit in Cabramatta Fairfield and Canley Vale than Tu Le. It’s not as if Ms Le has any cultural connection to the area. For God’s sake she is a blow in from upper middle Birrong, Belmore and Bankstown.
carriefellner Oww, KKs move must really be hurting them if the Labor powerbrokers are white anting Tu Le. Tu Le really should run as an independent in that seat
carriefellner journalists still doing labor right’s heavy lifting for them
carriefellner Quite the read - Labor really want to compare the toxic KK from Shetland Island to this fine lady who grew up within spitting distance of the seat ? I wonder if KK has ever tried the delicious Pho or a pork roll ? Doubt it.
carriefellner Oh labor 😂. The reason why Scomo is behaving he is now
carriefellner KK is lady bloody muck she wont fit into the west.
carriefellner So if the people of Fowler are complaining Tu Le was parachuted in, then how must they be feeling about blow-in Keneally?
carriefellner Have the Fowler Labor branch members vote on who they want to represent them then. Ms Tu Le, Ms Keneally or someone else. I thought that was the normal democratic pre-selection process
carriefellner Kenneally is Kryptonite. She will take the ALP down wherever she pops up.
carriefellner Labour have lost the plot
carriefellner This is a rather nasty little manoeuvre by the Keneally forces to try to denigrate the person whom they have blocked and harmed.
carriefellner This is a grubby article; factional infighting really ruins the labor party. Of course no one put their name to this backgrounding; pack of stand-for-nothing cowards.
carriefellner lol this is the best KKKeneally's team can come up with? At worst it puts KKKeneally and Tu at a similar footing in one aspect (recently moved to the area), but misses the point that Tu identifies with the constitutes more, and actually lives there.
carriefellner She grew up next door in Cabramatta, not in Mosman. Anyway all this branch BS is nauseating. Let anyone who lives in area and want's to run, and let all members vote and decide. The end.
carriefellner Grubby, self-serving politics by KKeneally.
carriefellner She still lives in the electorate not in a million $$ mansion on Scotland Island..and has the same heritage as the majority of the ppl who live there KKeneally AustralianLabor
carriefellner I support anything Labor needs to do to defeat the corrupt Morrison Government at the next election Australia auspol insiders
carriefellner That didn’t take long for old KK to get the back room mud slingers to work their magic!!! That’s why she was a terrible NSW Premier and is still electoral gold for the Coalition auspol
carriefellner Anyone actually bothering to read this will quickly see it’s tissue thin dirt throwing, fed to you by Kamp Keneally One day the penny might drop this sort of back room grubbery is what made her so bad as Premier And what led to having her arse handed to her on a plate on 2011
