The contest for Indi hit the national media this week with a hint of friction in Liberal-National coalition ranks, as reports emerged of National Party members being involved in independent Cathy McGowan’s push to unseat the Liberals’ Sophie Mirabella.<\/p>\n

“I’m getting support right across the political spectrum in Indi,” McGowan told No Fibs on Thursday<\/a>, on the question of Nats members getting behind her.<\/p>\n

The Border Mail<\/em> reported on Saturday “even some Liberals are backing her to oust Sophie Mirabella”.<\/p>\n

Jenny O’Connor of The Greens announced her preferences on Saturday – McGowan 2 and independent Jennifer Podesta 3. Local ALP officials have sent their preference recommendations to head office. An announcement is imminent; Labor’s campaign manger tweeted yesterday:<\/p>\n

@bordermail<\/a> No deals made at all, but our recommendations are in! #indivotes<\/a><\/p>\n
