Australia news LIVE: G7 meeting begins with Trump Russian complaint; Airstrike hits Iran's TV network; Liberals set to dump Victorian elders
Latest posts Latest posts 6.34am Liberals set to dump elders over 'assertive women' remarks Max Maddison and Paul Sakkal The federal Liberal Party is preparing to dump the two octogenarian Victorians appointed to oversee the troubled NSW division, a fortnight after ex-Victorian treasurer Alan Stockdale questioned whether the prevalence of assertive women required protecting men. Under a draft plan conveyed by four senior Liberal sources, who all spoke on the condition of anonymity citing party rules barring speaking with the media, the administrative committee's term would expire on June 30. It would probably be replaced by a seven-person committee chaired by a Liberal luminary. The tenure of Stockdale and former Victorian senator Richard Alston, unpopular among a large section of NSW Liberals, appeared terminal after the former raised concerns about assertive women during a meeting of the party's women's council on June 3.
