Senior Liberals say the party faithful in Wentworth have healed after Malcolm Turnbull's political assassination and are leading a "targeted grassroots" campaign to help Dave Sharma win the eastern suburbs electorate.
"Liberal party members and supporters in the community are helping volunteer [with] letter-boxing, pre-poll and on election day. These are the people disenchanted at the byelection.""I have people saying to me 'we didn't vote for you last time but we are coming back to the Liberal Party this time'," Mr Sharma said.
Dr Phelps, a local GP and a former federal Australian Medical Association president, said the mood was "polarised" in Wentworth."There are people who are very excited to be able to vote for an independent who has been able to achieve things in parliament but on the other side, you have Liberals who are angy that their seat was taken away from them and they want it back," Dr Phelps said.
While the byelection campaign was run by Liberal Party headquarters, Mr Sharma has this time shaped his campaign, along with his team headed by Young Liberal president Harry Stutchbury.

Dave Sharma explains why his signs are missing a Liberal logoDave Sharma is running for the seat of Wentworth for a second time in seven months, but that quick turnaround didn’t stop him from printing brand new, redesigned campaign material.

Penny Wong refuses to shake Liberal's hand as federal election gets emotionalPenny Wong clashes with Simon Birmingham about Paul Keating's China comments, as Bill Shorten tries to hold back tears over a newspaper report on his mother. What an ugly piece of work!!! Because he stated that Labour has no consistency on a NatSec issue? That’s within the realm of reasonable political discussion. Using Birmingham logic, Libs must support pedophiles since John Howard gave Geoge Pell a glowing character reference!
