Bradfield teal candidate wouldn't make way for seatless Tink
Teal MP Kylea Tink has left the door open to running in Bradfield, but there's already a Climate 200-backed candidate who insists she's going nowhere.
A teal community candidate insists she is going nowhere after independent Kylea Tink left the door open to running for her seat.
The confirmation from Climate 200-backed independent candidate for Bradfield Nicolette Boele could set up an awkward standoff with Tink, whose neighbouring seat of North Sydney was abolished by the Australian Electoral Commission on Thursday.
The seat has been absorbed by three neighbouring ones: Bradfield (held by Coalition frontbencher Paul Fletcher), Bennelong (held by Labor MP Jerome Laxale), and Warringah (held by Tink’s fellow teal MP Zali Steggall).
Tink responded to its abolition by saying she “hasn’t made any decisions”, but would consult with family and friends over a potential run elsewhere.
