'Elephant in the room': Liberals want a new seat in western Sydney | AlexSmithSMH
The NSW Liberals have taken the unconventional step of wanting to abolish the Speaker's seat to make way for new seats near the western Sydney airport and in the city's booming north west.
"The creation of a new seat carved out of these seats is inevitable, with the abolition of an electoral district south of Sydney Harbour, where enrolment growth is tepid." "The Speaker is meant to be above party politics and I think most people would be surprised that we would be suggesting that his [seat] be abolished and leave him without seat," an MP said.that Mr O'Dea has indicated to colleagues that he does not intend to contest the 2023 election but he has not publicly declared his intentions.
Mr Barilaro, who agitated for Mr Harwin to be dumped from cabinet after he was fined, is furious that his colleague's suggestion includes moving Nerriga, in Mr Barilaro’s seat of Monaro, into the Liberal seat of Bega, held by Andrew Constance.In the Nationals' submission, the party calls for the abolition of Murray , replacing it with a new seat called Murray-Darling.
In Labor's submission, it calls for its seat of Cabramatta to be abolished, while a new seat called Minto should be created.
