The Liberals were at the last election defeated in their ancestral homelands. But they’re still there, fundraising and planning a resurgence.

Nowhere is that more the case than in the wealthy federal seat of Wentworth, the erstwhile domain of blue-blooded Liberals such as John Hewson and Malcolm Turnbull now represented in parliament by teal independent (and daughter of Liberal politician) Allegra Spender. Though you’d never know it from the frenetic pace of activity of the local Liberal branches.
