Now confirmed that Alan Tudge is pulling the pin following numerous scandals, and a by-election will be held in his seat in the coming months.
Held on a margin of 2.8%. Aston takes in all of Knox LGA, with Rowville/Scoresby forming the bedrock of the seat's Liberal margin, while Labor do better towards the Bayswater/Boronia end of the electorate. In the state election, Labor won the district of Bayswater and the Liberals won Rowville by a similar margin, so the federal seat is definitely up for grabs.
Frydenberg has ruled himself out of contesting.
