Sky News Political Editor Andrew Clennell says Prime Minister Scott Morrison is “playing it smart politically” by defending his decision to back Liberal candidate for Warringah Katherine Deves.

Prime Minister Scott Morrison has defended the Warringah Liberal candidate, saying he wasn’t going to allow her to be silenced nor be pushed aside as the “pile-on comes in to try and silence her”.

NSW Treasurer Matt Kean, state MP Felicity Wilson and Liberal MP Trent Zimmerman have all called for Ms Deves to be disendorsed for her comments about the transgender community. “It’s another split in the Liberal Party, but Morrison, I guess, is playing it smart politically, and he’s taking a stand and the more he does take a stand, it doesn’t go each way on things,” Mr Clennell told Sky News host Peta Credlin.
