Candidates for the 2016 Federal election Seat of Fenner (was Fraser)

Jun 19, 2016 22:55

This gets easier every election! Wiki has a page dedicated to all of the candidates here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Candidates_of_the_Australian_federal_election,_2016
Only the sitting parliamentarians have wiki entries though.

The SMH and the Age are copying pages from the Canberra Times for each of candidates in the ACT http://www.smh.com.au/act-news/election-2016-federal-candidates-for-seats-of-canberra-and-fenner-20160526-gp4ihj.html

Frankly, just reading those pages will be more helpful than most of the stuff I have here; however they don't cover either the Bullet Train (http://bullettrainforaustralia.com.au/) or our one independent (https://andrewwoodman.com/)

More details for all candidates:
Andrew Leigh for Labor -

These include links to programs (frex Sky News) where he and a Liberal politician have been invited to discuss a topic.
