The Sydney inner metropolitan electorate of Wentworth is affluent and diverse. Geographically, much of it hugs Sydney Harbour.
The current Liberal Party incumbent is Dave Sharma who won the seat back from independent MP, Kerryn Phelps, at the 2019 election. Sharma bills himself as a moderate but his voting record belies that.
Earlier MPs for Wentworth were, former prime minister, Malcolm Turnbull and Liberal opposition Leader, John Hewson.
Now, Allegra Spender, a dynastic, Liberal Party blue-blood is standing as one of those “Voices of” centre-right independents who reflect a dissident, out-of-parliament, wing of the Liberal Party - now, under Prime Minister, Scott Morrison, comprehensively captured by the hard-right.
