Who pre-selected Jodi McKay?

Does anyone know who voted to pre-select Jodi McKay?

According to the ALP website, these are the 21 members of the National Executive:

National President: Mr Warren Mundine
Leader of the Opposition: Mr Kim Beazley
Mr Anthony Albanese MP
Ms Sarah Burke
Mr Mark Butler
Senator Kim Carr
Senator Stephen Conroy
Ms Yvette D'ath
Mr Joseph de Bruyn
The Hon John Della Bosca MLC

Ms Sharon Humphreys
Senator Annette Hurley
Sue Lines
Mr Bill Ludwig OAM
Mr Scott McLean
Senator Jan McLucas
Mr Eric Roozendaal
Mr Bill Shorten

(1) Does anyone know how many (if any?) of this committee come from Newcastle?

(2) Only 4 of the 21 come from NSW, does anyone know which ones?

(3) The final vote was 13 to 7 - does anyone know which way people voted? Was 1 member away or did they abstain?

There doesn't appear to be any minutes from the meeting on the internet. If anyone has them, send them through and we'll publish them here!
