Dunkley by-election an ‘important moment’ for both government and opposition

Political strategist and former Labor advisor Bruce Hawker says the Dunkley by-election will be an “important moment” for both the government and opposition.

Mr Hawker sat down with Sky News Australia to discuss the political predictions for 2024.

“Well of course the first thing we’re probably going to be looking at is a by-election in the seat of Dunkley following the very sad death of Peta Murphy,” he said.

“A young woman who died far too early.

“She’d won it for Labor, before that it had been essentially Liberals.”
