With Canberra almost certain to elect an all-Labor team to the lower house at the forthcoming election the real interest is in the pre-selection to be held on 24 April (although if the public start really thinking about the implications of recent immigration changes watch for a Green surge).
The Canberra Times has provided the list of candidates.
For Fraser we have: Nick Martin, Christina Ryan, Jim Jones, George Williams, Chris Bourke, Mike Hettinger, Andrew Leigh and Michael Pilbrow.
The Southern Expanse of Canberra has a choice of: Gai Brodtmann, Mary Wood, Mike Kinniburgh, John O’Keefe and Brendan Long.
