He rejected suggestions the Liberal Party was going to run dead in the seat effectively allowing Mr Ward to win it.Mr Ward is yet to nominate for the seat, while Labor selected its candidate, union organiser Katelin McInerney, in August believing it could win back the seat it held from 1981 till 2011.Labor says Premier should be 'upfront' over endorsement
