“Towke’s declaration says Morrison had also advised these delegates that “I was being investigated by the #LiberalParty for a number of criminal and immoral activities, all with racial overtones, and all of which turned out to be completely fabricated and have no basis of truth whatsoever”. In July 2007, #MichaelTowke won the #Cook #preselection, securing 82 votes to Morrison’s eight, but moves were immediately under way to overturn that decision.”

I see the Godfocker is up for honours. Not fit for it.

I recall being told, not so long ago at a local party branch meeting, that if we (the local branch) thought we would be represented by a candidate of our choice, we were fooling ourselves. And this was from an elected candidate (whom I respect for their honesty).

It was a rude awakening for someone who believed in political action to have that democratic right taken away. Yes, I’m still a Labor Party member, because there is opposition to this ‘captain’s call’ process within the party (mainly left wing and unions). And, though small, my support for this opposition adds to the strength of it (every voice counts).
