The return of “Hairdresser Dirty Talker”? Bombshell Rocks Race liberals ‘win’ on the turquoise MP, who made rough comments at the salon – as fresh votes pop up
A blue-green challenger declared by all media organizations now closes the gap with liberal rivals in a sensation, with only a few dozen votes.
In the battle at Bradfield in northern Sydney, Climate 200-backed candidate Nicolette Boele narrowed the lead of her liberal rival Gisele Kapterian to 59 votes, with about 9% of the vote counting.
It was a roller coaster number, and Boele looked like she grabbed the seat before taking the lead later last week.
On Monday, most media organizations called it the result for Kapterian, who replaced retired Liberal member Paul Fletcher.
At that stage, ABC election analyst Anthony Green said that only about 1,000 votes were counted, and he predicted Kapterian would maintain her 200-plus lead.
But now, the Tzucchio challenger made headlines during the campaign for all the wrong reasons, when she posted a sexual comment on the hairdresser, which had closed the gap.
Dr. Kevin Bonham, an election and voting expert, said Boole’s chances have increased dramatically.
He wrote on X: “I refused to absolutely call Bradfield yesterday because I think Boole still has a chance if someone asks me what chance I have to say 2% chance.”

“(But that’s much more than it is now.”
Neither Kapterian nor Boele declared a victory or admitted defeat.
During the election, Boele allegedly told a 19-year-old female staff member that the salon in the jealous room across from her office was banned and they washed their hair: “It’s amazing – I didn’t even have sex with you”.
A staff member at the salon later told the Daily Mail Australia that Boele was “banned indefinitely”.
The staff added: “She (the staff member) was shocked and was unhappy afterwards.”
“We wrote to her (Boele) last week, telling her that we will not bring her here anymore. ”
Boele calls himself “the shadow representative of the Bradfield people”, and he admits it is “a bad attempt to humor, and I apologize for it’.
“Everyone should feel respected in the workplace and I will do better,” she said.
This is her second attempt to win the Bradfield location.
