The seven women who won formerly blue-ribbon Liberal seats in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth promised a “new way” of doing politics. How have they changed the parliament?
They’re the seven women who took Australia by surprise in 2022 when they won or held formerly blue-ribbon Liberal seats in Melbourne, Sydney and Perth.
Five of the seven MPs did not provide records that showed how they voted on divisions, regardless of who moved the vote, and instead would only give statistics on how they voted depending on which party moved the motion – potentially because the latter showed them voting more often with the Coalition and less with the Greens. Ryan and Daniel provided both sets of data.
Though Daniel has moved seamlessly from journalist to politician, Wilson is a formidable opponent who knows the bayside Melbourne seat well. He has not stopped working the seat since his election loss in 2022.Daniel has worked to highlight the issue of sexual assault on university campuses and, like Sydney MP Spender, says she has sought to combat the rise of antisemitism in a seat with a significant Jewish population.
For her part, Spender has no interest in the party her forebears served and is sharply critical of the “remarkable” decision by the Liberal National Party to run so few women in Queensland at the next election.“I think that the Liberal party at the moment is a long way from the small-l Liberal, which I am.
Explaining why such a change matters, Scamps says: “If we build greater integrity, transparency and trust into our political system, then the good decisions flow from that.”
