Gozu wrote:HARD-RIGHT members of the NSW Liberals have had a major victory in a factional stoush over candidate preselections, with the Supreme Court stopping the annual general meeting of the state branch on Saturday.
NSW Liberals president Arthur Sinodinos, a federal senator, says the party is reviewing the Supreme Court injunction.
"This is a disappointing result, but we are examining the arguments and considering next steps," he said.
The decision throws into disarray NSW preselections for the 2013 federal election and is a blow to federal Opposition Leader Tony Abbott, who had wanted to avoid the debacle of 2010 when candidates were chosen too late.
Justice William Nicholas granted the injunction on Friday after NSW Liberal Party Central Coast branch member Denis Pogson filed an application earlier in the week.
At the heart of the internal brawl is a push to hold direct elections and to limit the state executive's powers to override branches and install its preferred candidates.
The hard right, led by NSW government minister Chris Hartcher, had wanted the changes to be voted on at the annual general meeting in Sydney - a request that was refused by the party's state executive.
