Jess Wilson, a former staffer to Josh Frydenberg, has to win his once-safe Liberal seat if the Victorian Liberal Party is going to be competitive this Saturday – and into the future.
“We’re putting everything into this campaign. We’ve knocked on thousands of doors, and we’ve made sure to listen to the community,” Wilson told“Holding Kew is incredibly important – I want to be a strong leading voice in the party room going forward.“It’s also really important to get more women in parliament – that’s part of the reason I wanted to be part of the renewal and that generational change. But we have to get there first. I’m not looking beyond Saturday night.
The Liberal candidate exchanges warm and genuine greetings with Torney, Skelton, and Greens candidate Jackie Carter. They all share hand sanitiser, stories about their pets, and agree on a lunchtime ceasefire – no chasing voters while everyone eats., which has involved references to “Nazi candidates”, formal complaints against the Victorian Electoral Commission, and accusations of violence at early voting centres.
The 56-year-old said community desire for independent representation remained strong, six months after Ryan’s campaign, with a team of battle-hardened teal volunteers ready to go again. Insiders also say she has raised the most funds of all the Melbourne teals.
