Transgender woman Rochelle Pattison wants to succeed Josh Frydenberg in Kooyong

The chair of Transgender Victoria, Rochelle Pattison, wants to become the Liberal Party’s first transgender MP and win back former treasurer Josh Frydenberg’s old federal seat of Kooyong.

Pattison, 56, a Liberal Party member for more than 30 years, has formally nominated for preselection for the seat, which teal independent Monique Ryan won from the Liberal Party at the last election.
Her (sic) nomination will have an impact as the party wrestles with trans rights issues after ousted Liberal MP Moira Deeming launched a defamation case against Opposition Leader John Pesutto.
