The former AMA President Kerryn Phelps is running as an independent in the seat of Wentworth after Malcolm Turnbull was ousted. The current field for the seat is 11 candidates, leaving the seat in uncharted territory after previously being held by the Liberal Party for 70 years.

Anthony made some predictions about how that will go, if the President is put at the helm of that.
