In a sign of how important the Bennelong race is to the Liberal party, the opposition leader will host a major fundraiser for wealthy supporters with local candidate, Scott Yung, next week.
Tickets for the private dinner with Peter Dutton, promoted in an email sent to Liberal supporters and seen by Guardian Australia, cost $10,000 a head – far more than last year’s fundraisers, hosted by federal Liberal MPs at about $1,000 to $2,000 a ticket. The venue is yet to be disclosed.
