The PM’s attempt to gain more Jewish votes in Wentworth all failed. The Tel Aviv embassy move proposal – fail. $2 million for security – fail. Former Australian ambassador to Israel as Lib candidate – fail. Wentworth Jews, like the other voters, were not fooled by the knee jerk talk and hype from the government.
Congratulations Dr Phelps. While Wentworth was a controversial by-election it is not looking good for the Liberals in the general election next year.
