The result of this afternoon's preselection contest? Complete repudiation of Julie Bishop's candidate in Julie Bishop's seat, which will now be held by a conservative - and a Catholic:
Here are the votes: Celia Hammond 51, Anna Dartnell 28, Andres Timmermanis 1, Karen Caddy 1, Erin Watson-Lynn 1.
watson-lynn was the candidate being pushed by bishop
She backed preselection candidate Erin Watson-Lynn, who once called herself a "non-Liberal voter".
She yesterday urged preselectors to choose a Leftist like herself (and by implication Watson Lynn).
She last week attacked rival Senator Mathias Cormann, who'd backed conservative Celia Hammond.
lol she dreams that she could have beaten bill shorten - but obviously only in her dreams ..
