She has described herself as a swinging voter, confirming she voted Labor last election and for Mr Wilson three years before that. She has campaigned on a platform including climate action, a federal integrity commission and truth in political advertising. Before the count progressed, Mr Wilson told the ABC he had faced a well-resourced "unholy alliance" of forces that had joined to oust him from office. Mr Wilson has accused "outsiders" of coming in to try and change the electorate. Ms Daniel is one of the so-called "teal" candidates who amassed a grassroots support base and funding from the Climate 200 group. "Caroline was a great mentor to me, she was a special woman from the ABC, a journalist who lifted other women up, including me, and today I'd like to dedicate this victory to Caroline Jones," Ms Daniel said.

Noted Massive Pain In The Bum Tim Wilson Lost His Safe Liberal ... (Pedestrian TV)

Liberal MP Tim Wilson has just had his butt kicked outta parliament by teal independent candidate and former ABC journo Zoe Daniel.

Goldstein has been one of the most contested seats of this election. Crucially, he has been a constant source of annoyance ever since. The contest in Goldstein was, in a word, dirty. In the lead-up to the election, Wilson was tipped to be the most likely Liberal member of parliament to be bumped off by a teal independent. Goldstein has been a Liberal seat since 1984. Wilson has been a member of the House of Representatives representing the inner suburbs Melbourne electorate of Goldstein since 2016.

The MP, who is gay, had also defended the rights of religious groups to discriminate against LGBTIQ people, and argued for a repeal of racial vilification laws. “I think my community would expect me to see what’s on the table from the two major parties,” she said. “It’s a safe Liberal seat and people feel taken for granted,” she said.
