Liberal Senate Ticket Battle Heats Up | Adelaide News

Leah Blyth’s Liberal Senate seat in South Australia is under siege as key party delegates turn against her, accusing her of betraying conservative causes and undermining the ticket’s chances.

The battle for the ticket mirrors deeper fractures within the party, including a stalled state president election where Antic is poised to win — revealing a fracturing Liberal Party racing toward the next federal election.
