The Liberal Party is facing internal conflict over the potential return of Josh Frydenberg to the seat of Kooyong due to a draft redistribution in Australia.

Amelia Hamer initially won the party's selection for the seat, but Frydenberg's possible candidacy is causing division among members.

Some MPs support Frydenberg's return, arguing he could secure crucial seats, while others feel it would be unfair to Hamer.

The party is dealing with broader issues related to gender equality and preselection, with concerns about voter backlash and the strategic focus on winning government.

The final decision on Kooyong and other Melbourne seats depends on the Australian Electoral Commission's finalization of the changes, which may also affect NSW.

Women in the party are particularly concerned about how these decisions will impact female representation in parliament, given the potential significant changes in federal electorates due to the upcoming NSW redistribution.
