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

One thing we can be sure of.

The ALP won't get any votes because they are cowards and didn't field a candidate.

Thus denying the electors of Cook a chance to vote for the ALP if they wished to.

A very weak decision for a government to make imo.

Our handsome boy didn't have the ticker to give it a go.
