The New South Wales Liberal party is under pressure to explain how one of its MPs was preselected and given responsibility for youth affairs in the shadow cabinet while police were investigating him for allegedly sexually assaulting a teenage boy.
The state party leader, Mark Speakman, on Tuesday said Rory Amon had not made any disclosures during his preselection that raised “red flags”, as he addressed the media for the first time since the former Pittwater MP was arrested on Friday.
