Liberals select candidate

THE Liberals have preselected a candidate for the state seat of Mordialloc.

Phillip Pease was recommended for preselection at a Liberal convention in Mordialloc last month. Mr Pease will be aiming to take the seat off sitting Labor MP Tim Richardson, who retained it in 2018 with a huge swing towards him.

Mr Richardson holds Mordialloc by a margin of 12.9 per cent. He enjoyed  a swing of 10.87 per cent towards him in 2018 running against former Kingston councillor Geoff Gledhill.

Mr Pease’s profile on the Liberal Victoria website reads that he “supports the Parky Army in their fight against the Labor Government’s decision to impose Sky Rail on the people of Parkdale.”

“He is running to ensure the local community has access to the very best health and education services, improved transport connectivity and working directly with the community, consulting on major projects for the future,” the profile read.
