"South Australian preselectors will this weekend determine the Liberal senate ticket, where right wing backbencher Alex Antic is seeking to knock off the third-most senior Liberal woman in Canberra, Anne Ruston, the shadow health spokeswoman and former social services minister. "Sources suggest Ruston remains the frontrunner and Opposition Leader Peter Dutton has made no secret that he wants her in his team. This and other preselection fights come when the Liberal Party is at a 30-year low in its female representation in the federal parliament."
