NO #ZoeMcKenzie - the Liberal Party under #SussanLey would be utterly stupid besides politically gutless to kowtow to the misinformed vast majority of voters in metropolitan seats in Australia who voted for #Albanese and Labor because of #NetZero
Ley's job is to convince Aussies that it's nonsense.

4.6%AWAY from the Liberal Party in an electorate that has been Peter Reith, Greg Hunt, and now Zoe McKenzie since 1984.
Even if you don't get in, well done #BenSmith!
Screenshot from the ABC's Federal Election Results for the electorate of Flinders, south south East of Melbourne in Victoria - predominantly made up of the Mornington Peninsula. The image shows photos of the current Liberal MP, Zoe McKenzie, and a newly minted Independent, Ben Smith. The text reads: 80.3% counted, updated 12m ago (approx. 5:20pm Tuesday 6th May 2025) Liberal ahead Zoe McKenzie leads by an estimated 3,106 votes. 4.6% swing from Liberal Preference estimate Liberal Party Zoe McKenzie (MP) MP Vote: 51.6% 51,149 Votes Independent Ben Smith Vote: 48.4% 48,043 Votes
Still counting...
I'm glad #BenSmith hasn't conceded. Even if #ZoeMcKenzie retains her seat (the gap expanded but has now shrunk a little), I hope she's taking note of the 4.6% swing away from #Liberal in #Flinders.
51,000 voted for her - 70,000 voted against.
Hope for the #MorningtonPeninsula yet!
6/8 vote against increasing housing affordability (I guess once you've bought your first twenty investment properties it must seem a little silly to bother with people who only want one), vote against restricting foreign investment (I wonder if the Mornington Peninsula's Liberal Zoe McKenzie really got her fair dues for helping Andrew Robb sell off the Port of Darwin)
6/8
#PoliceOfficer #SmallBusinessOwner #Politician - I do wonder in which of those positions Dutton would like us to believe he made his millions.

As an aside, these intentionally misleading leaflets "Authorised by S. Smith, Liberal" are the only things I've heard from the Libs in #Flinders No policies or anything else from #ZoeMcKenzie, the #Liberal who supposedly works for the #MorningtonPeninsula
No polices, just fear mongering & deception.
1/4 My local #Liberal #Flinders #ZoeMcKenzie has full #LNP backing in the form of leaflets in every letterbox using the branding/colours of the local #Independent #BenSmith and the #Teals to give the impression that they're part of Mr. Smith's campaign.
To #Flinders #ZoeMcKenzie worked with #AndrewRobb to make that 99yr lease of the #PortOfDarwin happen. He went on to an $800k p/a with the Chinese he sold to (quit right before Foreign Interference laws came into effect) while Ms. McKenzie moved on to trashing the #NBN (for my #LNP #Gamer friends)
