Local councillor Barbara Ward withdrew from the race last week.
“I believe she affords us the greatest chance of success in what will be an extremely closely contested marginal seat, where the teal machine could potentially pour millions of dollars into trying to unseat us,” she said. Nicolette Boele, the popular teal candidate who reduced Fletcher’s margin to just 4.23% on a two-party preferred basis in 2022, will run again at the looming federal election.
NSW Liberal moderates were concerned Mundine could not deliver the key seat, as Bradfield was the only Liberal-held seat in the country to return a majority yes vote in the voice referendum.
