Labor candidate selection 'undemocratic', says Crouch

Member for Terrigal Mr Adam Crouch has described Labor's selection of Ms Liesl Tesch as its candidate for Gosford as "undemocratic".

"We have now seen Sydney Labor parachute three candidates on the Central Coast in a little over two years, denying their members any say in who represents them.

"Labor has imposed a Sydney head office candidate after some bitter internal fighting.

"In stark contrast, the Liberal candidates will soon proceed to a democratic preselection.

"I am excited by the diversity and quality of candidates looking to represent the Liberal Party and the Gosford community in the NSW Parliament.

"This upcoming by-election offers two distinct differences, with Labor it is a vote to put somebody into Opposition who can promise everything but deliver nothing, while the Liberal candidate will be a strong voice in Government for Gosford, who can continue delivering the roads, education and health services the community needs," Mr Crouch said.
