The 31-year-old, who moved from Russia to Australia as a teenager, had been a dues-paying member of the Young Liberals for years.

The Liberal party, at this stage, has eight seats to its name that can be defined as urban, and it’s likely its next leader will hold a regional seat – the purview of its sister party, the Nationals.
