Born and raised in the leafy North Shore suburb of Killara, Nicolette Boele (pronounced ‘Buller’) is making waves as the next Federal Independent tipped to oust the Liberals from a once very safe blue ribbon electorate. The electoral division of Bradfield, historically made up of blue bloods and professionals, looks like it wants a change. Will Nicolette Boele be the reason that the Liberals don’t win one harbourside or oceanside Sydney seat this election? She’s made the headlines over the last week for her edgy sense of humour. She wants climate action. She wants her kids to move out of the family home. Will she be heading to Canberra?
