The swing in Wentworth, Turnbull's old seat, was 20%, mainly over climate inaction, and won by a centrist independent. The Liberal candidate supported moving the embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. The proportion of Jews in Wentworth is very high, but I doubt this is a first order issue for them.

I adore FDOTM, but the subtleties of AU politics are still beyond me, although I am learning. OK, so would this lead to a vote of no confidence in Morrison? No, I must have that wrong. But there is a national election next May?

Another question. I was taught AU stood for Australia. Recently, it's used for the African Union. I'm confused.
