ELECTIONS 2022
Greens in growing field for Flinders
Liberals to choose Nepean candidate THE Liberal Party is expected to announce its candidate for the seat of Nepean, held by Labor’s Chris Brayne, in late February. Nominations to be the Liberal candidate closed on Monday (31 January) and the Nepean State Electorate Conference is holding a $45 a head “meet the candidates” function at Safety Beach Sailing Club on Wednesday 9 February. The night is billed as “an important event to attend, to meet the contenders who will be responsible for the Mornington Peninsula”. Elsewhere on the peninsula, Briony Hutton (Liberal) and Paul Mercurio (Labor) will be contesting the seat of Hastings now held by Liberal Neale Burgess, while Chris Crewther (Liberal) and David Kramer (Labor) are standing for the seat of Mornington held by Liberal David Morris. Cr Mercurio is the second current Mornington Peninsula Shire councillor to nominate for a seat in parliament. Cr Despi O’Connor has stood aside from her council duties to contest the federal seat of Flinders as an independent after missing out on being chosen as candidate for the Voices of Mornington Peninsula group. The number of councillors seeking to be an MP would have been higher if Cr Steve Holland had succeeded in his bid last October to gain party support to fill the Liberal Party vacancy in Eastern Province created by the resignation of Edward O’Donohue. Councillors seeking election to either state or federal parliament do not have to stand down until after their nominations are lodged with the electoral office (“Council rules for aspiring MPs” The News 20/12/21). The rules mean that unless Cr Mercurio chooses to follow Cr O’Connor’s example and take leave of absence, he can remain as an active councillor until his nomination is lodged with the Victorian Electoral Commission. The state election is due in November.

Keith Platt keith@mpnews.com.au COLIN Lane has been endorsed as the Greens candidate for the seat of Flinders in the federal election now expected to be held in May. Mr Lane is a civil celebrant who conducts weddings and funerals and works part-time as the finance manager for a Mornington Peninsula winery. He says a priority of his “platform” is protecting the peninsula’s threatened natural features. “Seeking better outcomes for our younger generation, more full-time employment opportunities, free tertiary education, and housing schemes that provide more affordable housing for young people are all primary policy positions,” Mr Lane said. Mr Lane joins four other candidates for the seat of Flinders occupied for the past 20 years by Liberal Greg Hunt, who has announced he will not be seeking re-election. The other candidates are Zoe McKenzie (Liberal), Surbhi Snowball (Labor), Despi O’Connor (Independent) and Morgan Jonas (United Australia Party). Claire Boardman, a candidate chosen and backed by the Voices of Mornington Peninsula group, withdrew late last month (“Candidate withdraws due to Omicron effect” The News 25/1/22). “The Voices of Mornington Peninsula aren’t looking for a new candidate to contest the seat of Flinders in the coming election at this stage,” spokesperson Kim Robbins said on Friday. “The VMP board is currently listening to our members to determine our next steps forward. We’re holding meetings this weekend with
Candidate a speaker at flag raising THE Liberal party’s candidate for the federal seat of Flinders in the coming election, Zoe McKenzie, above, was one of the speakers at the Australia Day event held by Sorrento Portsea RSL. Ms McKenzie is standing for the seat held for a record 20 years by the retiring Greg Hunt. Mr Hunt was unable to be at Sorrento and Ms McKenzie said she had been asked to speak at the ceremony by Mornington Peninsula Shire’s Nepean Ward councillor, Susan Bissinger. The flag raising ceremony was followed by a community barbecue and live music. Picture: Yanni

[Mr Lane] will represent the people and the planet. Advocating for protection of the environment, supporting local initiatives, seeking better social outcomes for peninsula residents, and truly representing the voice of the people of the peninsula, not the position of a big political party.
