* In 2004, musician and activist [[Peter Garrett]] was preselected as the Australian Labor Party's candidate for the safe seat of [[Division of Kingsford Smith|Kingsford Smith]] at the [[2004 Australian federal election|federal election that year]] due to the intervention of leader [[Mark Latham]], despite opposition from the local ALP branch, who labelled him an outsider. The [[Construction, Forestry, Maritime, Mining and Energy Union|CFMEU]] issued a statement criticising his selection as "a pathetic version of political celebrity squares".<ref name="AuParachute">{{cite web|url=https://www.crikey.com.au/2019/02/01/parachute-candidates/|title=Fly in, fly out: a guide to parachute candidates|date=1 February 2019|website=[[Crikey]]}}</ref> Regardless, Garrett was elected to the [[Australian House of Representatives|House of Representatives]].

* Former [[Premier of New South Wales]] [[Kristina Keneally]] was preselected as Labor candidate for the [[2017 Bennelong by-election]]. She lived 800 metres outside the electorate, which, combined with her high profile, attracted accusations of parachuting.<ref name="AuParachute"/>
* Keneally sought preselection for the House of Representatives again in 2021, this time for the electorate of [[Division of Fowler|Fowler]] in western [[Sydney]] despite living in the city's affluent northern suburbs. She was also criticised for making the move despite retiring member [[Chris Hayes (politician)|Chris Hayes]] having already endorsed local [[Vietnamese Australians|Vietnamese Australian]] lawyer [[Tu Le]] as his successor in a working-class, migrant-rich neighbourhood. With heavy publicity drawn toward what is normally one of the safest seats in Australian politics, Keneally suffered a massive swing against the previous result and lost the seat for Labor for the only time in its 13-election existence, with parts of the area being held as far back as 1934 when it was part of [[Division of Werriwa|Werriwa]]. This resulted in a former Liberal Party member who turned independent, Vietnamese Australian and former refugee [[Dai Le]], being elected.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Glenday |first1=James |last2=Haydar |first2=Nour |date=9 September 2021 |title=Kristina Keneally's swap into safe Western Sydney seat sparks anger among Labor locals |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-09-09/cph-kristina-keneally-safe-seat-switch-sparks-anger/100448790 |work=[[Australian Broadcasting Corporation]] |location=Sydney |access-date=2021-09-10}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Harris |first=Rob |date=10 September 2021 |title=Keneally vows to 'step up and fight' as Labor brawls over lower house move |url=https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/keneally-vows-to-step-up-and-fight-as-labor-brawls-over-lower-house-move-20210910-p58qk2.html |work=[[Sydney Morning Herald]] |location=Sydney |access-date=2021-09-10}}</ref><ref name=fowler>{{Cite news |last1=Malone |first1=Ursula |date=2022-05-22 |title=Voters reject Labor's Kristina Keneally, Dai Le to take seat of Fowler at 2022 federal election |language=en-AU |work=ABC News |url=https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-05-21/nsw-fowler-kristina-keneally-federal-election-2022/101088072 |access-date=2022-05-22}}</ref>

* In 2007, journalist [[Maxine McKew]] was preselected as Labor candidate in the [[2007 Australian federal election|forthcoming federal election]] for Bennelong, represented by then-Prime Minister [[John Howard]].
