Opinion is divided within the Liberal Party regarding the effect that the leadership change had on the Canning by-election. The seat has been won by Liberal candidate Andrew Hastie, albeit with a seven per cent swing to the Australian Labor Party. Senator Arthur Sinodinos says this would have been much larger if Tony Abbott had not been dumped as prime minister, although Finance Minister Mathias Cormann says this may not necessarily have been a factor in the outcome of the by-election.
