    in the 2022 election Morrison lost 8.2% of his primary vote but retained a pv of 55.5%

    now Simon Kennedy, without a substantive opposing candidate, the three main opponents being Animal Rights Party and a Sustainable Aus Party candidates (both women) and a Green. Two male right leaning candidates being a Libertarian and an independent (who has stood for election 3 times in Berowra) who will be likely preference catchers to channel votes back to Kennedy.

    so if Kennedy can't hold at least 55.5% of votes (before or after preferences) what will be the consequence for Dutton?

    Yet another male candidate, one who doesn't live in the electorate who won preselection over a locally resident woman, in Cook?

    when will women get a fair go in the Liberal Party? - terribly illiberal
