Let me stand next to your Shire
Last month we told you about a “shit fight” in the Sutherland Shire, where the Liberal Party is trying to finalise its ticket for the September 14 council elections. “There’s a lot of games played at the moment,” one source told us at the time.
Today we can report those games are still ongoing. While Liberal sources tell us the tickets for the other councils in NSW have been all but completed, the situation in the Shire remains murky.
Longtime Liberal Mayor Carmelo Pesce is facing opposition from party colleagues who want a new leader should the party retain power.
