Liberal Party preselectors are set to decide who will replace retired senator Mitch Fifield in Victoria

Face of Nation : Liberal Party preselectors are set to decide who will replace retired senator Mitch Fifield in Victoria. Prime Minister Scott Morrison and various Liberal heavyweights have thrown their support behind former MP Sarah Henderson. Ms Henderson narrowly lost her seat of Corangamite at the federal election in May. However, she faces stiff opposition from Wangaratta-based farmer Greg Mirabella, the husband of former Liberal MP Sophie Mirabella. The neck-and-neck race has at times been marred by factional feuding. The vacancy was created after Mr Fifield resigned from the Senate to become ambassador to the United Nations in New York.
