NSW federal MP Kylea Tink will consider running in electorates neighbouring her seat of North Sydney – which the electoral commission confirmed on Thursday will be abolished – but will avoid standing against fellow teal Zali Steggall.

Ms Tink vowed to run at the next election due by May, and the most likely campaign would be in Bradfield or Bennelong or even the Senate, after the Australian Electoral Commission confirmed North Sydney will disappear in a NSW redistribution.
