Former strategist Brad Stansfield, backed by Duniam and three ex-premiers, is leading the charge with his proven vote-winning record. Meanwhile, Michael Ferguson and Sarah Courtney are also circling the field, while Latrobe councillor Jacki Martin remains a wildcard. The timing is critical: Tasmania’s Liberals are already thin on federal representation, and they’re facing a surge from One Nation — led by Lee Hanson — which polls suggest could snatch one or two Senate seats. With the Liberals’ future hanging in the balance, the next election could hinge on who rises from this shake-up. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
