The Prime minister is trying to parachute Warren Mundine into the seat of Gilmore in NSW.
This is a big call on the part of Scott Morrison. It is a captain's call. Calls that are mistakes tend to be highlighted.
So is this a mistake?
Mundine has no connection to the electorate whatever.
Mundine is not a 'star' candidate either. Having seen him on the ABC show The Drum various times he has ranged from inarticulate to embarrassing. Moreover he was at one tine President of the ALP. It seems the only reason he left was he was unsuccessful in gaining preselection in both the Senate and the house of representatives.
The local preselectors in Gilmour who preselected Grant Schultz appear to be up in arms. Schultz has said he will run as an independent.
All in all not a great look for the Liberal party nor for the Prime Minister's political nous
