RedBridge Group has also been in the field, with results potentially to be published this week. Other than that:• Nine Newspapers reports Gavin Pearce, Liberal member for Braddon in north-western Tasmania, is withholding his preselection nomination until his electoral neighbour, Bass MP Bridget Archer, is expelled from the party. Silmalis reports Yung had the backing of Peter Dutton, whereas Chung was favoured by moderates. • Next door in North Sydney, which Trent Zimmerman lost to teal independent Kylea Tink at last year’s election, the Sydney Morning Herald’s CBD column reports that Sophie Lambert, media manager at the NSW Education Department, has nominated for Liberal preselection. The matter could be complicated by the current redistribution process, in which the seat could be radically redrawn or potentially abolished.
