NSW treasurer savaged his party’s preselection processes and warned that the community expects more diversity in its parliaments

Ward, who is the state’s women’s safety and roads minister, was looking to move into the lower house after the resignation of the speaker, Jonathan O’Dea. She was defeated in the preselection by former Mike Baird staffer Matt Cross under NSW’s one-member-one-vote rules.Sign up for Guardian Australia’s free morning and afternoon email newsletters for your daily news roundup

“The community sent a very strong message not only to the Liberal party but to all political parties that they want to see more diversity in our parliaments,” he said. “We need to make sure that we are looking at our processes to ensure that we are reflecting the sentiment, otherwise the community is going to take it into its own hands and reject Liberal candidates that don’t reflect the community values that they expect.”

Former federal Liberal MP Trent Zimmerman, who lost his seat at the March election to a teal candidate, has also warned his state colleagues to take care in candidate selection after disastrous results in Victoria at the weekend. “As the NSW Liberal party finalises its own selections, it must be vigilant in this regard as there is little tolerance for candidates with views on the fringes in a modern major political party.

and because of all the other things

It's not the only reason.....

Voters should reject the Liberals as they have no integrity. Evidence by the support given to Morrison. Federal or State, it is one Party. Clearly it hasn’t learnt anything from WA, QLD, SA, ACT, VIC, & Fed elections. Another message needs to be sent from NSW. VoteLNPout

I hope you do not think you are counting me as one who will reject Liberals.

The Liberal party is a spent force. They have fun their race and should fold.

No they won't. Voters don't give a rats about having more Cash, McKenzie, Hume, Andrews, Landry, Henderson, Reynolds, Ley, Ruston, Hughes, etc. They don't need to be female, they need to be less crap ideologues that happen to dress in skirts.

If you replace the word 'female' with 'sane', you will probably be closer to the truth.

Holly crumbs this LINO clown is projecting his own vapid left ideology on to voters

And some decency

Lets' start with replacing Matt Kean!

Matt Kean is a poisonous termite.

Voters are less obsessed by genitalia than Matt Kean appears to be. We just want our lives made better, safer, happier, and more prosperous, and will vote for whoever we feel most confident can make that happen.

So are you suggesting the 2022 Australian voter votes on gender & not abilities?

Shut up you baldy little ponce.

Stuart Robert denies claim on Morrison’s hatred with Matt KeanShadow Assistant Treasurer Stuart Robert says he doesn’t think Scott Morrison hates Matt Kean as the $600 million skills package agreement needs to be signed off by Treasurer. 'I don’t think Scott Morrison does hate Matt Kean; that’s not my understanding, sure there are some issues in New South Wales politics that I don’t profess to understand, but this is a Treasurer’s agreement,” Mr Robert told Sky News Australia. “It's up to the treasurer to sign it once the treasurer has been happy with the outstanding GST.” Who cares? These corrupt, hating dinosaurs will not be in power for decades. He was the treasurer too.
