Bennelong Candidates in 2010
Bennelong candidates for 2010, so far, in no particular order, are:
- Maxine McKew - ALP (Labor)
- John Alexander - Liberal
- Lindsay Peters - Greens
- Terje Petersen - Liberty and Democracy Party (Libertarians)
- ??? - Australian Sex Party
- Julie Worsley - Christion Democratic Party
- Victor Waterson - One Nation
Due to study commitments this year I don't expect to get a chance to fully review the candidates, although I have to say I am somewhat offended by the Liberal choice. Having been a professional sportsperson is not in any way a relevant or useful attribute for serving as a member of Parliament. Even the Liberal candidate's own web page does not offer a hint of anything that would qualify him for the role.
