Jason Morrison has a lot to think about at the moment.

Morrison has confirmed to radioinfo that he has been approached to contest a seat in the NSW State parliament, as reported yesterday.

“I have actually been approached by some very senior people in the NSW Parliament to consider putting myself forward," Morrison told radioinfo.

After discussing politics for so long on talk radio, Jason Morrison is now considering entering the bear pit himself. He would follow in the footsteps of other high profile broadcasters such as Pru Goward, Maxine McKew and a number of recent state premiers who had media careers before entering politics.

Morrison has confirmed he is interested in standing for the safe NSW seat of Epping when ex-attorney-general Greg Smith steps down in next year’s state election.
