PREMIER Ted Baillieu has defended his party’s decision to not contest the March 24 Niddrie by-election.
He has rejected Labor accusations of cowardice to not run in the contest sparked by the retirement of former deputy premier Rob Hulls.
“They will say whatever they want to say,” Mr Baillieu said today.
“It’s a seat we’ve never held, and that’s the bottom line.”
The Liberal Party administrative committee last night decided against contesting Niddrie, which is held by Labor with a 6.9 per cent margin.
Liberal state director Damien Mantach said the decision was made after consultation with senior Liberal MPs.
“Since it was first contested in 1976, Niddrie has always been held by Labor. It was retained by Rob Hulls in the November 2010 State election,” Mr Mantach said.
Deputy Labor leader James Merlino said the seat was winnable for the Liberals.
“They are too gutless to front up,” Mr Merlino said.
Nominations for Labor preselection close tomorrow ahead of a local ballot.
Potential candidates include former staffers Ben Carroll and Jaclyn Symes.
