““We can now put this debacle behind us and move forward as a party to contest the March 2025 state election.”

Following the meeting, Mettam said she had secured a clear mandate for her leadership which put a line in the sand.”

@summer_of_bliss this should be 0-5% imo, only betting down to 35% bc of time value across 2 months

@summer_of_bliss This happens all the time in Aussie politics — it’s generally a sign of further problems to come. That said, I’m just making this bet cause it’s fun

Description says "before the March 2024 election", I assume that's supposed to be 2025?

"I’m not a candidate for the [Liberal] leadership. I’m not in contention for the leadership. I am in contention for preselection for the seat of Churchlands. If I’m successful, my only job after that will then be to try and win the seat of Churchlands for the Liberal party."
