Summary

Description
English: Hawthorn, Victoria

Australia is about to vote.

I took a quick drive down to Hawthorn today as one of the more high profile contests is in the inner eastern Melbourne seat of Kooyong between the Federal Treasurer, Josh Frydenberg, and a strong independent candidate, Dr Monique Ryan, a paediatric neurologist.

The usual electoral contests in Australia are between the centre right Liberal and National Party Coalition (currently in government nationally) and the centre left Labor Party which has been more successful at a state/provincial level. Not any more though and the current government is under serious challenge in its generally very safe inner urban seats from high profile independents running on issues such as climate change and integrity in government.

The photo features Mr Frydenberg with his dog greeting early voters. I will be frank and say I don't support him or his party but am quite fascinated by the fact that one of our most powerful and prominent politicians cannot afford ever be too distant from his community!

We will know tomorrow night how it goes but, needless to say, it will be a highly watched result!

An update: Dr Monique Ryan will be the new Member for Kooyong after a significant swing against Josh Frydenberg. She will join a now quite expanded cross bench in the Australian House of Representatives.
