The fresh-faced local Vietnamese-Australian Labor lower house candidate for the division of Fowler, lawyer Tu Le, has been replaced in a shock move by the Australian Labor Party with Senator Kristina Keneally, the former state premier who serves as the party’s deputy leader.
Tu Le, who was backed by retiring Fowler MP Chris Hayes to replace him at the federal election next year, has revealed the move has triggered “rage” in the southwest Sydney community.
