Vietnamese-Australian lawyer Tu Le wasn't surprised when she was dumped by the Labor Party to run as candidate for the south-west Sydney seat of Fowler at the last federal election.
"It actually wasn't the first time that I've been overlooked or sidelined or underestimated, and so it didn't necessarily come as a surprise to me," Ms Le told the ABC.
Ms Le was vocal about Labor's controversial decision to parachute in former senator Kristina Keneally as candidate into the multicultural seat.
