A passionate Ray Hadley was at his absolute best on Wednesday morning, serving up an epic response to the council nomination debacle that’s put NSW Liberal president Don Harwin and Liberal leader Mark Speakman in the spotlight.

Ray also called on those around the Liberal leadership to “have a bit of courage” and speak up to those in charge.

“Have a bit of courage for the sake of New South Wales politics,” Ray said

It all comes after last week’s preselection failure, which left 140 candidates off ballots ahead of September’s local ­elections.
