Liberal candidate for Wentworth Dave Sharma accused his independent rival Allegra Spender of being “dishonest”, while Ms Spender said Mr Sharma didn’t act like a real Liberal moderate.
Liberal candidate for Wentworth Dave Sharma accused his independent rival Allegra Spender of being “dishonest” for not saying who she would back in a hung parliament in a televised debate on Thursday.
“There are 151 members of the House of Representatives, and each of us has the same voice and each of us has the same vote,” he said. “You need to convince 75 of your other colleagues to support what you’re going to do.” “If it had been different, if moderates had really stood up on these key issues, if they had made the difference, I don’t think I would be standing,” she said.
Both candidates were in furious agreement in opposing the boycott, divestment and sanctions campaign against Israel, and in their concern for China’s push into the Solomon Islands, though Mr Sharma criticised his opponent for linking the national security issue to climate change.Both slammed Liberal candidate for Warringah Katherine Deves’ comments on transgender athletes, though Mr Sharma stopped short of calling for her disendorsement and defended his own voting record.
