The Liberal Party won back Hawthorn, but can they keep it? | ClayLucas
The seat no longer felt like a safe Liberal electorate. The demographics of the area mean it has likely changed for good; the biggest age bracket here is 25 to 29-year-olds, and one-third of residents rent; many are students at the electorate’s biggest employer, Swinburne University.
spoke with ahead of election day was Camberwell resident Malcolm Cameron, who midway through the election campaign revelled in the choice of what he called the “progressive candidates” he could choose from at this election in his electorate . “The electors in Hawthorn are socially progressive,” Cameron said. “[They] oppose wasteful expenditure, are horrified by corruption, very rarely work in unionised jobs except teachers and health, and are strongly motivated for climate change action.
Lowe’s campaign manager Brent Hodgson has now fought two campaigns in this area — Monique Ryan’s and Lowe’s — and believes there is no going back to the Hawthorn of old.He thinks Lowe lost many votes to the idea that electing Pesutto would help reform a Liberal Party that has lurched to the right in recent years.

‘Coward’s route’: Peter Dutton warned not to give Liberal MPs a ‘free vote’ on VoiceSky News host James Morrow says Opposition leader Peter Dutton needs to “show some actual leadership” and stand against the Indigenous Voice to Parliament. He said it’s a great way to “buck up” the conservative base and give people some cover on this issue. “If he goes against John Howard’s advice and gives people in the party a free vote … that’s the coward’s route, number one, but also it means that people who are legitimately against the Voice will feel like they do not have cover and they will be steamrolled by a corporate, virtue signalling campaign,” Mr Morrow said.
