Comments:Liberal Party of Australia win Bradfield, Higgins by-elections

Anti-ETS vote in Bradfield
Unlike Paul Fletcher, the two Federal issues that Philip Dowling found that Liberal voters were concerned about was the ETS/CRPS bill, and the fact that Malcolm Turnbull's policies seemed to be geared for Eastern Suburbs trendies. Traditional Liberal voters were mainly pleased with Abbott replacing Turnbull and blocking the ETS. Over 85% of first preferences went to candidates opposed to the ETS bill as being flawed. (This includes the Green vote - as Green senators opposed it.) http://vtr.aec.gov.au/HouseDivisionFirstPrefs-14357-108.htm
