Prominent Labor frontbencher Kristina Keneally has confirmed she will nominate for pre-selection in the safe western Sydney seat of Fowler. But her plan to shift from the Senate to the lower house has been criticised by some within Labor, as the move means a young Vietnamese-Australian lawyer who had intended to run will be pushed aside.
