THE BLOODLETTING:Big-name politicians who were booted this election

The Australian Labor Party is set to form majority government, while a ‘teal wave’ of victorious independents have also shifted the political landscape.

Here are some of the big names in politics who have lost their seats so far.

Josh Frydenberg

Long touted as a future Liberal leader, Frydenberg is all but set to lose his seat to Climate 200-backed independent candidate Dr Monique Ryan. 

KOOYONG, VIC

Dave Sharma

Sharma’s seat of Wentworth, in Sydney’s eastern suburbs, has been called for independent candidate Allegra Spender.

WENTWORTH, NSW

Kristina Keneally

In a blow for Labor, the former NSW Premier lost her seat of Fowler – an ALP stronghold since 1984  – to Fairfield mayor and independent Dai Le.

FOWLER, NSW

Jason Falinski

Falinski conceded defeat to former emergency room doctor Sophie Scamps on election night, after suffering an almost 2 per cent swing against himself.

MACKELLAR, NSW

Trent Zimmerman

Zimmerman lost his traditionally Liberal seat of North Sydney to Climate-200 funded independent Kylea Tink.

NORTH SYDNEY, NSW

Julian Simmonds

One-term Liberal MP Simmonds was defeated by Greens candidate Elizabeth Watson-Brown in the seat of Ryan in Brisbane’s western suburbs.
