Documents seen by The Examiner show that Cr Archer and Alderman Wood will appear before the Selection Committee on Friday, along with sitting members Peter Gutwein, Michael Ferguson and Sarah Courtney.

Liberal Party of Australia (Tasmanian Division) state director Sam McQuestin said the group would address members of the electorate on Friday night.

“Those members make the recommendation to the state executive. It’s the members prerogative to choose who they want to recommend for endorsement,” he said.

Treasurer Peter Gutwein both Alderman Wood and Cr Archer would be strong candidates if chosen to be part of the Bass ticket.

“They have both been very strong in respect to the representation of their local communities and I am certain that if they were preselected that they would continue to provide very strong representation,” he said.
