    She’s only just claimed victory, but Wentworth’s Kerryn Phelps may already have a new Liberal challenger in Christine Forster #auspolhttp://bit.ly/2CsZtl6

        Phelps is a selfish, hypocrite who didn't know or care what the name of the electorate is, . . or who voted for her, after her email hoax painted her opposition as a homophobe that was all she cared about, ..she'll take the money and you'll never hear from her again in #Warringah

        God we don't want another Abbott. She won't beat Phelps. Phelps is way more intelligent than Forster, more attractive and actually makes sense when she speaks.

        So, the battle between two lesbians? I'm sure that's not she Wentworth elected Kerryn. They are fed up with your archaic ideology which doesn't speak for them.

        Oh Christine, if only you had run! Good luck if you decide to -- funny how Dr Kerryn Phelps said the "people of Warringah"!

        Go challenge your brother, his right wing stupidity led to the Wentworth bi-election. He brought the Liberal's into disrepute. Challenge him.

        Good the old HIV scam hoax won’t work against Forster and the shallow NIMBYs in Wentworth will have their heads exploding trying to guess which high profile person to elect with no one to vote against next time to punish for something he had no part in
