oooops the Libs claim a scalp
Mar 25^th, 2019 at 4:33pm

[urlhttps://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/nsw-labor-to-vote-on-new-leader-after-federal-election/news-story/22d4321cc020576f2a0ca18d2a9f1de2][/url]

Michael Daley has stood down as NSW Opposition Leader until after the upcoming federal election.

Mr Daley’s former deputy, Penny Sharpe, has been named be the interim leader.

“This is the right and proper thing to do. It is in keeping with the spirit of the State Labor Party’s Caucus rules requiring a rank and file election of the Leader,” Mr Daley said.

To do otherwise would be an unnecessary distraction from the task of electing a Shorten Labor Government in a few weeks’ time.”

“I will be contesting the leadership when nominations are called for that position.”

NSW Labor will vote on a new leader after the federal election with the party urging MPs not to even speak about the leadership until after the next prime minister is elected.

The party will hold a rank-and-file ballot for the leadership.

A proper thing to do. It's a shame he didn't really get a good run in period to the election but I guess standing down is the honourable thing to do. His comments on some things leading up to the election were very sus - I doubt he would have been Leader for too much longer anyway so, it is probably a good thing he stood down voluntarily rather than being "removed"

HONORABLE.... Grin

especially after the things he said.. Huh

which you claim were suss.. I can only imagine what your would have said about it had Gladys said them.. Roll Eyes

I dont think he had much choice but to stand down..Sat and Sun he wasnt going anywhere.

But Gladys didn't say them Pet. He did - and I reckon they were pretty suss and he deserved what he got. He stepped down before he was pushed Pet - I am applauding his action in doing so, it was the honourable thing to do in a breed of people for whom honour has little meaning. What more would you like me to say Pet?

Repent Lefties while there is still time. ScoMo and Gladys reveling in their fame.

As long as he stays there the libs will play him for all it's worth.
