Sophie Mirabella losing out as Coalition gets behind Nationals Indi candidate (Excerpt quoted)

Quote:

The Liberal party’s Indi candidate, Sophie Mirabella, has been cut loose by the Coalition. The deputy prime minister Barnaby Joyce has been openly mocking her and senior government sources claim she has been starved of Liberal party funding apart from that which she can raise locally. The developments suggest both sides of the Coalition have written off Mirabella’s chances of regaining the seat from independent MP Cathy McGowan. Two days ago Mirabella accused some in the Liberal party of destablising her campaign on the ABC’s 7.30. “What do they say? If you want a friend in politics, get a dog … Let others be concerned about internecine affairs, I’ll worry about Indi,” Mirabella said.

Thats a bit of bad news , i wanted to see her get obliterated

Why endorse her if they would 'cut her loose?'

What is the link for that please?

(Edit.....Oh I see.  Barnaby is flogging his own horse there.  Jolly good.  Keep the back stabbing coming.  All good.)

Link.

Although she's always been on the outer within the liberal establishment, they probably didn't mind her running again until she self-imploded with that hospital howler. Not surprising at all that they changed tack after this.
