Comment:
At the 2019 election the Liberals polled 2.20 quotas, while Labor polled 2.14. This will ensure that both the Liberals and
Labor win two seats. The Greens polled 0.88 quotas, which should be enough to get Peter Whish-Wilson re-elected. Jacquie Lambie
polled 0.62 quotas, but it's most unlikely that she can transfer her personal vote to another candidate. So the sixth seat will go either to
the Liberals (more likely) or to Labor (less likely). The possibility that the Liberals will only win two seats set off a preselection
tussle between Eric Abetz (who is 63 and has been a Senator since 1994), and his former staffer Jonathon Duniam (who is 38 and was recently
promoted to assistant minister). In May, Duniam won the top spot. Since Senator Wendy Askew is assured of the second spot, Abetz was
relegated to the risky third spot.
