Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Australian English Шаблон:Infobox election The 2023 Fadden by-election was held on 15 July 2023 to elect the next member of the Australian House of Representatives in the electorate of Fadden in Queensland. The by-election was held as the result of the resignation on 18 May 2023 of the sitting member, Stuart Robert, who had represented the Liberal National Party (LNP) and sat in parliament with the Liberal Party of Australia.[1][2]

The by-election was won by the LNP's candidate, Cameron Caldwell, with a positive swing of nearly 3% on the two-party preferred vote.[3] The Labor Party's candidate, Letitia Del Fabbro, conceded defeat approximately two hours after the polls closed.[4]

Background

The Division of Fadden is situated in the northern part of the Gold Coast. The area has a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas and is a popular tourist destination due to its proximity to the Gold Coast theme parks (Dreamworld, Movie World, Sea World and Wet'n'Wild).[5] As of the 2021 census, the Division of Fadden has a population of approximately 163,000 people. The division has a higher-than-average proportion of young families and first-home buyers, as well as a large retiree population. The median weekly household income in the division is $1,719, which is slightly higher than the national average.[6]

The division has largely been a safe seat for the Liberal National Party and its predecessors since its creation, with only one period of Labor representation between 1983 and 1984. Stuart Robert had held the seat since 2007. Robert previously held various ministerial positions, including Minister for Veterans' Affairs and Minister for Human Services.[7]

2022 election results

Шаблон:Main Robert suffered a two-party-preferred 3.55% swing against him in the 2022 federal election, but the seat remains a safe Liberal National seat with a two-party-preferred vote of 60.63%. Despite having an increase in the two-party-preferred vote, Labor had a slight decrease of 0.16% in its primary vote. The Greens also contested the election and had a 1.73% increase in primary votes from the previous 2019 election. Other parties and candidates that contested Fadden at the 2022 election were One Nation, United Australia Party, Liberal Democrats and an independent candidate Stewart Brooker and each of them achieved less than 10% of the primary vote.[8]

Three of the candidates from the 2022 election (Labor, One Nation, and Brooker) re-contested the by-election. The United Australia Party and Liberal Democrats were de-registered with the Australian Electoral Commission after the 2022 election and did not run in the by-election.

The 2023 Fadden by-election was the second by-election in the 47th Parliament, following a by-election for the Melbourne seat of Aston, which was held on 1 April 2023 following the resignation of Alan Tudge. The upset loss of Aston was the first time in 103 years that a governing party won a federal seat from the opposition at a by-election (the last time before that being the 1920 Kalgoorlie by-election, where the Nationalist Party won the seat from Labor).[9]

Preselection

Labor

Given that the seat is considered safe for the LNP, there was speculation that Labor may have chosen not to endorse a candidate for the by-election. Local branches urged the party to contest anyway.[21]

On 29 May, Labor announced it would contest the by-election, despite stating that it would be unlikely for them to win.[22] On 2 June, it was confirmed that Griffith University nurse educator Letitia Del Fabbro, who stood as Labor's candidate for the seat at the 2022 federal election, had been endorsed to stand as Labor's candidate for the by-election.[23]

Liberal National

On 8 May it was reported that Gold Coast City councillor Cameron Caldwell and Fadden Liberal National Party branch president Fran Ward had both sought preselection.[24]

On 28 May it was confirmed that five candidates were seeking Liberal National preselection. Alongside Caldwell and Ward, the shortlist included Craig Hobart, wealth manager Owen Caterer, and Order of Australia recipient and disability advocate Dinesh Palipana.[25]

Other speculated candidates included former Senator and current Sky News host Amanda Stoker,[26] and Queensland state MP for Bonney Sam O'Connor.[27]

Caldwell won preselection on 3 June 2023.[28]

Greens

On 18 June 2023, the Gold Coast branch of the Greens announced Scott Turner as their Fadden candidate.[29]

One Nation

One Nation ran Sandy Roach, their candidate from 2022.[30][31]

Others

The Australian Citizens Party has preselected Jan Pukallus as their candidate at the by-election. Stewart Brooker, who ran for Fadden as an independent at the 2022 federal election, will run again. A second independent, Belinda Jones, has also announced that she will run. On 13 June Legalise Cannabis Australia announced Suzette Luyken as the party's candidate.[32]

Campaign

The Liberal Party campaigned on the rising cost of living and opposing the Indigenous Voice to Parliament.[33][34] Labor campaigned hard on the Robodebt scheme.[35]
