Fairbairn Expected to Challenge Gorton for Lib Leader
Mr Fairbairn 52 said he considered challenging Prime Minister Mr Gorton for Liberal leadership at the Canberra meeting a week away. Gorton initially suspected the telegram was fake but confirmed its authenticity after a Canberra press statement. The move follows Fairbairn’s withdrawal of a bid to become Australian High Commissioner in London and could ignite a leadership contest that risks embarrassing the government with a reduced majority after the federal elections.
