Cook by-election candidate Simon Kennedy says locals are 'comfortable' living near nuclear reactors
And as voters head to the polls today, you can count the apathy being felt in the electorate of Cook — with early voting down by about 11 per cent compared to the 2022 federal election and nearly 13 per cent lower than the Voice referendum late last year, according to the Australian Electoral Commission.Even the Liberals' candidate, Simon Kennedy, won't be able to personally boost voter turnout as his team confirmed he didn't move into the electorate in time to meet the registration deadline — denying him an opportunity to pose for the cameras as he votes for himself.
