This is another seat where dumbing net zero will hurt the Liberals and could cost them this seat. Anyone know what faction Zoe McKenzie is aligned with?
Not to worry I found out which faction.
Zoe McKenzie seems to be the kind of MP who’d work well in the electorate as she appears as a Moderate, but I sense from her demeanour in TV interviews and parliamentary proceedings suggests that she’s also quite open to tolerating her conservative colleagues. She’ll have to tread carefully as she was almost unseated by a no name Teal last time round. Peter Reith would be spinning in his graves if they ever lost Flinders.

According to James Massola and the Age, Zoe McKenzie is unaligned, which is generally made up of MPs who want to defend the party’s status quo. This is conjecture on my part but she could also be what the article describes as one of those newish MPs “who don’t want to show their hand yet, for fear it could damage their chances of promotion”

Reith himself lost Flinders in 1983!
