Libs’ big blunder
Things are not going great for the NSW Liberals, but at least they’re keeping us busy here at Tips and Murmurs. Among the latest tips we’ve received is an interesting internal memo and some details on the party’s embarrassing failure to nominate candidates for local council elections.
Before we get to the memo, some background: until last year, businesses had twice the voting power of residents in the City of Sydney. In October, the NSW Labor government changed a law that until then gave eligible businesses in the area two votes in council elections, compared with one each for residents.
