Sadly the Liberals have expelled yet another strong conservative woman.

Family First is delighted to welcome Elizabeth Kikkert, member for Ginninderra in the ACT Legislative Assembly, as its first member of parliament since 2017.

At the start of Family First’s ACT election campaign, our goal was to stand up for families, get the party on the ballot and give people a real choice for their vote.

Our expectations and goals were no higher than that. I’m excited to be able to tell you that everything has changed in the last few days and so must our strategy.

Getting Elizabeth re-elected is now your party’s top priority between now and the October 19 election.

I know all members and supporters will join me in welcoming Elizabeth to the Family First family. - Lyle Shelton, National Director
