Mick Calatzis, a long-serving police officer who missed out on a spot as a Canberra Liberals candidate in preselections earlier this year, has received a late call up following the withdrawal of Jerry Nockles.
Mr Calatzis, 59, will run for the party in the inner-city seat of Kurrajong, while Mr Nockles is understood to be turning his attention to securing part preselection to run for the Senate in the next federal election.
