Former vice-chancellor of the University of Notre Dame Celia Hammond has been selected by the Liberal Party as its new candidate for the seat of Curtin. The seat is currently held by former foreign minister Julie Bishop, who is not standing again at the upcoming federal election. Foreign policy analyst Erin Watson-Lyn, who was being backed by moderate allies of Bishop, secured only one vote in the preselection. Prime Minister Scott Morrison has tweeted his congratulations to Hammond, who joined the Liberal Party in December.
