THE Battle for Monash is shaping as one of the most intriguing of the 2025 federal election. After years of being a safe Liberal seat, Monash became marginal at the 2022 election with Liberal MP Russell Broadbent just surviving a national swing against the Liberal Party.
Adding to the interest this time, a new Liberal candidate has replaced the sitting MP, the sitting MP is standing as an Independent, another Teal-ish Independent is running a blistering campaign and the Labor candidate is keeping his powder dry.
The Post election edition will include profiles of all the candidates, giving you the information you need to make an informed vote.
And you can help with some perceptive questions for candidates. Please forward questions to [email protected] and state whether they are general or directed to an individual candidate.
