The NSW Liberal Party has endorsed Hunter nurse and City of Newcastle councillor Katrina Wark as their candidate in Newcastle, after almost a week's wait following their federal executive's appointment of Scott Morrison, Dominic Perrottet and former party president Christine McDiven to take charge of outstanding preselections.
As the Newcastle Herald reported Saturday, Brooke Vitnell and Nell McGill were preselected unopposed last year in Paterson and Shortland and both have been campaigning for months with high-profile help from cabinet ministers and the Prime Minister himself.
