Belly, to be honest Labor or the Greens cannot win Wentworth on their own. Who could win, is an strong independent candidate who splits the Liberal vote. With Labor/Green preferences such a candidate as Clover Moore would be a chance of getting up, but still a longshot.
Turnbull as PM probably had a 5% personal vote, of his 62% primary vote. Labor 17% Greens 15%. A good independent would need to poll 25% primary to get the Liberal vote well below 50%. as the Labor/Green vote would also decline. With a strong flow of preferences from Labor and Greens its possible the Independent would reach the magical 50% plus one vote ahead of the Liberal candidate. As I said it is a longshot.

The Wentworth electorate is an interesting one. It has
a great mix of people from the very rich, to gays,
to Jewish, to young people renting. So who the Liberals
pick is important despite Wentworth being a safe Liberal
seat. It's a small electorate - but the candidate needs
to have the right credentials - and that is - having
good local credentials.

Christine Forster - (Abbott's sister) is interested.
So is Dave Sharma (former Australian Ambassador to Israel)
so is Andrew Brass - the former Acting Director of the
Liberal Party. Even Kerryn Phelps has expressed an
interest. She's worked as a GP in Double Bay and is well
known and liked. She's also a former President of the
Australian Medical Association.

At this stage it's anybody's game.

' Come off it runner, the Liberal Party realized Abbott was an absolute disaster, and they were staring at electoral annihilation. Turnbull kept them in office, at least for one more term.
You read too much of that fairy book of yours.'

yeah Paul no doubt you and Kevin agree.

Yes Foxy history agrees that Abbott looking at his watch made him a woman hater, punching the air 40 years ago made him a woman basher, eating an onion made him a chauvinist, opposing perverting the marriage act made him a facist. Yep your hatred along with the abc proves it. Don't realise how small minded you really are Foxy.
