A Liberal MP already mired in false claims over how long she has lived in her electorate is now facing questions over past claims that she holds two undergraduate university degrees.
North Shore MP Felicity Wilson said when nominating for party positions including a vice-presidency of the exclusive and powerful NSW Liberal state executive that she held two undergraduate university degrees.

MP under pressure over claims of two degrees
North Shore Liberal MP Felicity Wilson is now facing questions over past claims that she holds two undergraduate university degrees.
But this is at odds with Macquarie University's records and Ms Wilson's own parliamentary biography.
In April Ms Wilson (pictured) promised to be more careful with her words after scraping into Parliament in a by-election despite being forced to retract claims made in a statutory declaration and nomination form that she had lived on the north shore for 10 years.

Fairfax Media has now obtained another of Ms Wilson's nomination forms, for a vice-president's spot on the body that runs the Liberals' NSW division and its state and federal parliamentary preselections.
"I have a double degree of Bachelor of Media/Bachelor of Arts from Macquarie University," Ms Wilson said on the nomination form for the 2013 job on the Liberal executive.
But a Macquarie University register shows only one student named Felicity Wilson attaining a bachelor's degree in the past two decades – a single bachelor of media.
A university spokeswoman confirmed that Ms Wilson had been conferred with only one undergraduate qualification.

"[Ms] Wilson completed a bachelor of media in December 2005," the spokeswoman said.
"She has not currently completed any further degrees."
Ms Wilson's official parliamentary biography also lists her as holding only a bachelor of media.
This week Ms Wilson repeatedly declined to explain the discrepancy between what preselectors were told and the official record and her biography.
"I was enrolled in, studied and completed a bachelor of arts at Macquarie University," Ms Wilson said.
She claimed to have "qualified" for two degrees but did not elaborate or answer questions on how many undergraduate degrees she was awarded.
Double degrees usually entail at least one additional year of study and confer two separate qualifications on graduates compared to a single bachelor's degree, which is usually of three years' duration.
The rookie MP was dubbed "Duplicity Wilson" by talk radio's Alan Jones amid a media firestorm during the April by-election that she won despite a 15-point swing against the Liberal Party.
Ms Wilson's nomination to become the 2013 Liberal Women's Council president and, concurrently, a vice-president on the state executive was a key milestone in her political career.
She served on the executive for three years, according to her CV. In that time she rubbed shoulders with top Liberals and became increasingly touted in the media as a future MP.
"I worked closely with [then] Premier Mike Baird and [then] Treasurer Gladys Berejiklian," Ms Wilson wrote.
Questions about the rookie MP's truthfulness marred a major press conference by Premier Gladys Berejiklian last month.
The NSW Liberal Party did not respond when asked if it was concerned about the information on the nomination form.
On her oath and in her original preselection form, Ms Wilson said she had first moved to the electorate at Waverton in 2005. But in that year she had registered to vote at an address in North Epping, about 30 minutes' drive from Waverton.
Records only definitively put Ms Wilson inside her electorate's boundaries at points across only four years and she has repeatedly declined to provide her residential history or say how long she lived in the seat.
She also apologised when it was revealed she had been enrolled to vote in Marrickville in the 2001 election despite telling former prime minister and Bennelong MP John Howard that she had voted for him that year.
