Further
to our coverage of the job nobody wants -the NSW directorship of the
Liberal Party - a bod has emerged who some believe might have the
goods. Edward Mandla, a Liberal candidate at the last NSW election,
confirmed to Naked Eye he saw recruiters for the job on Thursday.
Insiders
say he has merit because he is neither of the party's extreme Left or
ugly Right. Mandla took on the unenviable - and unwinnable - job of
Liberal candidate for the seat of Sydney. Bookies had him at 50-1 but
he came in second on primaries to the formidable Clover Moore, ahead of
Labor and the Greens.
On his website, he wrote: "Well, the
election is over and what an experience it was. For me, this election
was the first step in a longer political journey." Step two: doing the
heavy lifting for the fractured NSW branch, perhaps?
