Liberal rising star Tim Wilson is set to come under attack from the Victorian union movement, which is buoyed by internal research indicating Labor could snatch his inner Melbourne seat.
…Mr Wilson holds Goldstein by a comfortable 12.7 per cent but research commissioned by Trades Hall has Labor ahead.
Victorian Trades Hall Council secretary Luke Hilakari said voters in Goldstein did not like Scott Morrison as prime minister.
“The Prime Minister and Tim Wilson have a real problem,” he said.
Good. Wilson’s climate change craziness and franking credit bucket shop activities mark him out as one for the woodshed, via The Guardian:
The inquiry into Labor’s franking credits policy is struggling to cope with an inundation of submissions, one in five of which contain text written by its own chair, the Liberal MP Tim Wilson.
The controversial inquiry is due to finalise its report on Monday, and Wilson, as head of the House of Representatives economics committee, is currently preparing the chair’s draft.
But Wilson finds himself in an unusual position. At least 249 of the 1,300 submissions he considers will contain text that he wrote himself attacking Labor’s policy, according to a Guardian analysis.
Nothing quite like writing complaints to yourself.
