After a meeting lasting almost two and a half hours, Simon Kennedy defeats three other Liberal Party candidates to win preselection in former prime minister Scott Morrison's old seat of Cook.

That’s right Cronulla, your likely next local member isn’t actually local. But, he promises he will be real soon!

Good luck with that!

Having lived in super safe-seats and marginal seats, I promise it’s far better to live in a seat that flips every election!

    Another bloke.

    That’s right. They’re sticking with the “Best candidate” approach.

    When about 80% of the “Best candidates” are male (source), you may as well just say “Males are superior”.

        I honestly don’t know. There’s more women represented in states as members than federally for the LNP. Is it significant? Why? How?

        But it’s also a bit weird that by bringing someone in from outside, they are effectively saying that there is nobody -male or female- in the Shire that is good enough to run for the LNP…

        Not. One. Person.

        It just feels wrong.
