Seven candidates line up in the race for Gilmore

30 Jul, 2010 02:04 PM
Not one, but four dark horses have emerged in the race for the federal seat of Gilmore.

Today’s announcement of standing candidates and ballot position at Nowra revealed Labor’s Neil Reilly, Liberal MP Joanna Gash and Greens candidate Ben van der Wijngaart will be joined by four other candidates, two men and two women, to contest Gilmore.

A familiar face from the 2007 election has returned, with Christian Democrat candidate Bohdan Brumerskyj throwing his hat into the ring again.

Mr Brumerskyj secured the top position on the Gilmore ballot paper.

Family First will be represented by Elizabeth Cunningham, while the Secular Party of Australia has fielded Annette Williams.

Ms Cunningham is placed third on the ballot paper, below Mr van der Wijngaart and Ms Williams secured ballot position six, below Mr Reilly and Mrs Gash.

Rounding out the seven is the Liberal Democratic Party’s Donald Keys.

In Throsby, Stephen Jones will stand for the ALP, Juliet Arkwright for the Liberals, Alan Hay will represent the National Party, Peter Moran for the Greens and Wayne Heartman will stand for the Non-custodial Parents Party.

In Cunningham, Labor MP Sharon Bird will face off against Liberal candidate Philip Clifford, Non-custodial Parents Party candidate John Flanagan, Socialst Alliance candidate Jess Moore and George Takacs from the Greens.
