Waste of time, a turd with a blue tie would win in that electorate and often has.

Bennelong was like that as well.

No in Bendalong they changed the boundaries and made it very evenly balanced.

Geoff Toovey should run.  He'd be a shoe in....

It is a blue ribbon seat and outside of SA Xenophon is a relative nobody.  He will pick up 10% of the vote and mostly from Greens and Labor.

Xenophon's ego will be his undoing.

Not as stupid as claiming Xenophon is a relative nobody. he's probably one of the few senators that just about everyone has heard off.

Even cods has heard of him, and she knows virtually nothing about Australian politics.

Marie was born in the UK of Sri Lankan/English heritage and lived in New Zealand before settling in Australia.  An archetypal Australian, Marie is an immigrant that embodies the values of inclusiveness and acceptance.

Marie achieved a Bachelor of Arts at the University of Melbourne and then went on to study fashion, opening her own design and manufacturing studio at the age of 20. By 21 she had her own shopfront which she successfully ran for 6 years in the iconic fashion precinct of Richmond, Victoria. Moving to Sydney, she worked at Fairfax Media, followed by the Sydney Cove Authority publicising the iconic Rocks area. Marie then opened her own PR, marketing and advertising agency, specialising in the lifestyle, arts and fashion industries.

Seeking more meaningful work, Marie received post-graduate qualifications in psychology and counselling and opened her own practice in 2008.

https://nxt.org.au/candidates/new-south-wales/house-of-representatives/marie-rowland/

So she's useless and has next to no real-world experience with little to offer potential constituents other than fashion advice and how NOT to hold down a job. Way to go, Nick - you sure can pick 'em!

I don't see how you arrive at that conclusion - she sounds like just the opposite.

She's clueless. Starts out in fashion then goes to work at Fauxfacts, then the Sydney Cove Authority to spew more hot air. Then she opens her own PR firm to spew yet more hot air on... wait for it - fashion. Apparently unsatisfied with this fashion talk, she gets some post-grad qualifications and tries her hand at counselling (must be a market for those suffering fashion-related problems) but gives that up after only a few years and decides to have a go at politics. So can you tell me what she has to offer her potential constituents... other than what colour pants to wear with a particular blouse? Not surprised you can't see this.

Maybe she can be Xenophon's spokeswoman for textiles?

The silver tails let Abbott into their dressing sheds, Toovey is probably one of them.

In 2013 Abbott vs Rudd - LIBs won 91 seats where Rudd had fairly good preferred PM numbers

In 2016 Turnbull vs Shorten - with Shorten at 14% preferred PM and you think we are concerned if we will lose Abbott's seat to Labor or anyone else??!!  ;D ;D

No, it's not about the Libs being concerned.

It's about us having a really good laugh at Abbott losing his seat.

If Abbott's seat goes at the next election, I'll be throwing the biggest party ever (no matter what the overall outcome of the election is).

Early days yet , weve yet to see any vision or policy from the Libs in 3 years , apart from attacking the lower socio economic and health and education , all we have seen is stagnant growth , lowest wage growth in decades and a budget deficit that the libs have managed to double in 6 months after abolishing 2 new revenue streams that wouldve cost the consumer much less than a GST.

There's been plenty of vision and policy from the Libs since 2013. You just haven't liked any of it.
