Independent MP Kylea Tink's seat of North Syndey would be abolished under the AEC's New South Wales electoral map redistribution. 700,000 enrolled voters statewide would swap electorates under the proposed map redrawing. The redistribution would see voters in Ms Tink's seat go to the nearby seats of Bennelong, Bradfield, and Warringah. Ms Tink has not yet indicated if she will run for a nearby seat. Under the changes, Shadow Treasurer Angus Taylor's seat of Hume would move further into the outskirts of Sydney, shedding its regional centre of Goulburn. Goulburn will move into the Labor-held seat of Eden-Monaro. The New South Wales redistribution will be contestable for the next three weeks.

Treasurer Jim Chalmers says he “prioritised” the most important recommendations from the ACCC with the new measurers for better rates on mortgages and savings accounts.
