Snedden touted as PM contender by Liberal Queensland group
A strong Queensland Liberal faction floated Mr Snedden as a potential challenger to Prime Minister Fraser at a meeting of about 170 supporters in Lilley. A Snedden spokesman denied discussions of a challenge, calling it idle speculation, while pro Fraser elements in Canberra and Melbourne signaled caution. The Queensland group cited economic discontent and WA election concerns as motivation. The WA vote looms as backbench calls for tax cuts stir public debate. Whitlam mocked Fraser in Parliament over backbench meetings during recess.
