Common goal: The Liberal Party’s most mentioned and seemingly most favoured candidate for the federal seat of Flinders is Zoe McKenzie (in crab costume)) who has presented herself as a crab in protest at the annual harvesting of moulting spider crabs at Rye pier. Ms McKenzie is flanked by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Cr Sarah Race, then mayor, Cr Despi O’Connor – who will be standing as an independent and potentially opposing Ms McKenzie for Flinders – and Cr Susan Bissinger.

Although Ms McKenzie must wait until the new year to find out if she has been preselected by the Liberal Party, she has stood down from several boards and her own company, Trade & Investment Advisory, to concentrate on securing that position.

“I have not taken the decision lightly to throw my hat into the political ring, but believe my business, legal and public policy experience, as well as my various community and volunteer related roles, ideally positions me to make a significant contribution on behalf of this beautiful region, and its remarkable people, in our federal parliament,” she wrote on the LinkedIn website.
