OUTGOING Senator Cory Bernardi departed politics with an equanimity at odds with his confrontational style. A highlight of his fond farewell speech was the story of the first political fundraiser he attended when he was 16. Strangely, it was for the Socialist Alliance. A Fully Stocked Fridge was an attraction. Sadly, it was “the name of a band’’. A life on the Right was born.

The race continues to replace him. As Off the Record said in August, the name of LegCo president Andrew McLachlan has been mentioned.

As has Caroline Rhodes.
