The former Olympic skier said she believed there was "a strong shift" in the electorate towards "being more positive and more future-focused, especially in areas where you have got a high number of families where people are really worried about the future and their kids".
Ms Steggall has also enjoyed the tacit support of activist group GetUp, which sent 600 volunteers into the electorate with the specific aim of ousting Mr Abbott, who they believe to be a block on climate-change action. But the independent, a barrister and mother, says she has no links with GetUp and receives no funding from them.
Mr Abbott's sister, Sydney City Liberal councillor Christine Forster, said there was "strong support" for both Ms Steggall and her brother.

Why do some Labor types hope Tony Abbott wins Warringah?Some on the ALP side relish the thought of the Coalition losing the election but Abbott holding his seat - to ensure a divided Liberal Party in opposition. JacquelineMaley Interesting take, because as I remember it Abbott was quite effective at taking on the govt when last in opposition. Politically effective that is. JacquelineMaley It is like LiberalAus saying let's hope billshortenmp says on as leader when AustralianLabor say they hope TonyAbbottMHR wins. In Bills case they don't think he'll win, in Tonys case, the picture of the wreckage after bull in a china store comes to mind

'All pretty personal': Abbott characterises Warringah campaign in secret recordingThird-party campaigners are fighting a proxy war in Warringah, leveraging social media to push their messages — and both candidates are feeling the pressure as the campaign enters its final stages. Of course it's personal. They want to kick you and your right wing views out. Guess it was also personal when Abbott took away $11 BILLION from starving people?
