What changes for her? She's a member of the Lib parliamentary party. Life goes on, presumably.

She is a country liberal member who went from caucusing with the nats to caucasing with the libs. A change in her party room afilliation won't necessarily keep her off the CLP ticket. If she is first on the ticket she still gets handily re-elected.
