Political career
[edit]Layzell was preselected as the NSW National Party candidate in the Upper Hunter by-election following the resignation of former MP Michael Johnsen over sexual assault allegations. David won the by-election on 22 May with a two-candidate-preferred 3-point swing toward the NSW National Party, despite comments from Premier Gladys Berejiklian that "it would take more than a miracle for us to keep the seat". The by-election also saw 7.46-point and 10-point first-preference swings against the NSW Labor Party and NSW Shooters, Fishers and Farmers respectively.[citation needed]
Layzell was officially sworn in as a member of the 57th Parliament of NSW on 8 June 2021, where he also asked his first question in question time to Deputy Premier Hon. John Barilaro. Layzell gave his first speech in parliament on 9 June 2021.[citation needed]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
