Coalition "Partners", Eh?
March 29, 2016
So, Damian Drum is vacating his state Senate seat to contest the federal seat of Murray. Whilst state politics isn't covered as closely as the Feds, I don't remember hearing from, or about, Mr Drum since he was elected in the early 2000s.
I read elsewhere that the Liberal Party will be preselecting a candidate in the next few weeks; I guess that means the so-called partners - Liberals and Nationals - will be warring over how many seats they'll each have in cabinet if they win the election. How does that even work in practise? They'll have the same policies!
I think I have to run. The communities of Murray deserve a representative focussed on them, not on seating arrangements in Canberra! Hopefully we can at least #MakeMurrayMarginal and encourage the major parties to take our communities seriously.
