Liberal right-wing elder Damien Tudehope tells a commission that keeping party members active within local branches is central to the political survival of the party. In his evidence, he describes party recruitment and retention as key functions of party organisation, linking branch engagement to longer-term prospects for election and influence. Tudehope also says that prominent Reformer Jean-Claude Perrottet had “a talent” for recruiting and maintaining members within party branches. The three outlets report the same account of his testimony, focusing on the practical importance he attributes to sustaining membership at the branch level and the role he associates with Perrottet in achieving that. The reports do not provide additional detail about the commission’s broader subject, the time period of the recruitment efforts, or any specific outcomes from those activities beyond Tudehope’s general characterisation. Overall, the coverage is aligned on the substance of Tudehope’s claims: branch-based membership is portrayed as critical, and Perrottet is described as particularly skilled at recruitment.
