The Albanese government is offering Timor-Leste a multi-billion-dollar lifeline to fast-track the Greater Sunrise offshore gas project, which promises generational wealth for the fledgling nation. Plus, former federal treasurer Josh Frydenberg may run for Kooyong again, potentially displacing a woman already preselected. Follow live here.
The rush to restore Josh Frydenberg to federal parliament looks like a sure victory to Liberals who believe the former treasurer can defeat “teal” independents like Monique Ryan and help the party regain federal power.But the campaign looks like a huge risk when anyone stops to think about the woman who gets shoved aside in the stampede.
Amelia Hamer, the 31-year-old Oxford-educated grand-niece of former Victorian premier Sir Rupert “Dick” Hamer, won the right to be the Liberal Party candidate for Kooyong, in the wealthiest parts of Melbourne, by 233 to 59 votes only nine weeks ago. Now the Frydenberg support squad believes she must give up that right for the man who lost the seat to Ryan and the teal steamroller at the last election.
