at the party’s state conference in August to learn from mistakes made at the federal election and to preselect more women. Other members have argued that a dearth of females in the parliamentary party is alienating voters.
At the time of Ms Ward’s failed preselection bid, Mr Kean said: “When you’ve got someone as talented, as able, and as big a contributor as Natalie Ward, who’s not able to win preselection over a former Liberal staffer, something’s wrong with our systems and processes.”Women make up just 13 out of the Liberals’ 44 members in parliament. The party has three female ministers, only one of them in the lower house, and 16 male ministers.
Ms Longley was among members who attended a state electoral conference meeting early this month that unanimously preselected Mr Amon and issued a fiery call to the state executive to immediately endorse him.
