Episode Details

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. With only two senate seats expected, positioning matters — and Blyth’s controversial push to preselect herself early and her absence from a critical vote on hate speech laws have fueled backlash. Senator Alex Antic, who’s quietly built a powerful base within the SA State Council over five years, now leads the charge for top billing — even as whispers of a new conservative challenger emerge. 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.
