STATEMENT FROM FEDERAL MEMBER FOR BRADFIELD, NICOLETTE BOELE

15/07/2025

The Battle for Bradfield – Liberals’ Last Ditch Effort
by Allan Shi

Liberal candidate Gisele Kapterian has ended weeks of speculation by lodging a petition with the Court of Disputed Returns, challenging the result in Bradfield.
In a statement, Ms Kapterian said that this “decision is taken to ensure the intentions of the voters of Bradfield are accurately reflected in the final count”, and that “we are requesting a targeted final examination of a small number of ‘line ball’ ballots that were reserved and considered by the Australian Electoral Officer during the counts”.
This challenge is similar to the circumstance of the 2007 federal election, where the Liberals launched a bid against Labor in the Victorian seat of McEwen, citing irregularities with the original count. Labor’s Rob Mitchell initially defeated the Liberals by a mere 7 votes. Following the court arbitrating certain ballot papers, the result was overturned, and the Liberals’ Fran Bailey was declared the winner by 27 votes.

"Domestic violence robs individuals of dignity, autonomy, and security, with scars lasting a lifetime. Now is the time to act. Those of you who know me well, know that I have often stated Hornsby Police spend a significant amount of time on incidents related to domestic violence.

Women continue to reach out to me for guidance and support, and they will always will be welcomed with open arms. But perhaps now, it’s time we move beyond words and push for meaningful legislation that truly breaks the cycle."
