Absolutely farcical. Vetting so poor that a candidate has made it to what is normally a guaranteed win position will not sit in the party room.

So the only way to vote above all else for Coalition candidates who will sit in the party room in E Vic is to vote below the line and rank top candidate below the others or not at all.
Congrats to the Victorian Liberals for discovering a new species of mess.

Also, while Guy says she will not sit in the party room it doesn't seem she has been actually disendorsed by the party. Even when a candidate is formally endorsed on the ballot paper a party can still declare they no longer unofficially endorse that candidate.
It would not surprise me if the reason she hasn't been unofficially disendorsed is to avoid a repeat of the Yan Yean How to vote card situation. While she remains an endorsed Liberal candidate, an HTV saying vote 1 for her isn't illegally misleading.
And while Guy says she won't be in the party room, assuming the Liberals don't win he may not be leader very long so it's not clear it is his call.
