Teals and independent candidates in 2025 fed election

[peetoo]

Just got my first ‘anti teal’ flyer in the letter box in kooyong electorate.

It’s along the lines of teals will be catastrophic in a minority labor govt. a vote for teal is a vote for greens and labor. Funded by big money in Sydney and Melbourne. Teals mps voting with green and labor much more than with coalition

Tealsrevealed.com.

Presumably this is targeted at the small percentage of voters who switched lib to teal, cos all the arguments they put actually is positive for greens and labor voters who voted tactically either first or subsequent preferences that we are getting exactly what we voted for, and are pretty happy with it.

So the anti teal flyers are actually pro teal for about 40% of the voters letterboxed clap clap clap

Hope for their sake their arguments resonate with the moderate liberal voters who switched (a small percentage) or they are screwed
This after dutton basically sneering at them for 2 1/2 years


Short version: amateur hour

‘Hypocrisy’: Monique Ryan in firing line as Coalition ramps up war on Teal MPs — Herald Sun

The Coalition has launched a scathing attack on Dr Monique Ryan and Zoe Daniel ahead of the federal election in a bid to claw back vital seats at the upcoming federal election.

Most of Ryan’s votes came from green and labor voters primary or preference votes. Arguably only 6% primary came from liberal voters.
Ryan is actually voting in proportion to the voters who elected her

State seat hawthorn (half of Kooyong) voted a Lo or mp in in the previous state election

We know that Kylea Tink is going to be out - her seat of North Sydney is being abolished.

I can see perhaps one more losing their seat, but no more. Nobody who gave a teal candidate their first preference, or who voted tactically, is going to vote for Dutton's brand of brain-dead culture war politics.

Morrison tried that during the 2022 election in a bid to pick up Labor outer-suburb seats. It didn't work, and ensured that every Liberal seat targeted by teals was lost.

Tink running for Bennelong would make it interesting
