Election picks linger for Liberals and Labor WITH time ticking away until the state election, the Liberals have still not announced a candidate for Frankston and Labor has yet to announce who will stand for Mornington. Frankston has been held by Labor’s Paul Edbrooke since 2014 and former Dunkley MP Chris Crewther is running for the state seat of Mornington, now held by long term Liberal MP David Morris.. The state election is scheduled to be held Saturday 26 November. The Liberals have been announcing candidates for state seats throughout the year, but have yet to declare candidates in the key seats of Frankston of Carrum. The two bayside seats were retained by Labor at the 2018 state election, with big swings towards the incumbents. The Liberals’ previous Frankston candidate, police officer Michael Lamb, was preselected 15 months before the 2018 election. He was soundly defeated after a trainwreck Sky News interview derailed his campaign. The Liberal Party was contacted for comment.
