Former New South Wales (NSW) Premier Nick Greiner will be tasked with getting to the bottom of the NSW Liberal Party’s systemic issues that contributed to its failure to nominate candidates for council elections, as well as alleged failures during the federal election.

The decision was finalised during a federal Liberal Party meeting in Canberra, where senior party figures gathered to form a new committee to oversee the state division.
