NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian heads to the Upper Hunter next week to campaign alongside David Layzell
NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian heads to the Upper Hunter next week to campaign alongside a newly chosen by-election candidate she says is an underdog.
Little-known 45-year-old construction manager David Layzell was anointed as the Nationals candidate for the crucial May 22 by-election on Wednesday, nudging out favoured contender, long-term Singleton mayor and cattle farmer Sue Moore. We are no doubt the underdogs, Ms Berejiklian said on Thursday, pointing to a history of large swings against governments in by-elections.

âI thought the type of behavior that John was exhibiting would ultimately be his own downfall, that he had enough rope to hang himself anyway, so I didnât really need to contribute to it.â
