Nationals in Richmond: Desperate times call for desperate measures


National Party candidate Tania Murdock's sudden exit from the race to win the seat of Richmond at the next Federal election has left the Nationals in the lurch.

Murdock was the only person to put her hand up when the Nationals called for nominations last year and it seems there's no one waiting in the wings to fill her shoes.

In their hour of need former National MP for Richmond Larry Anthony has said he won't be putting his hand up for another shot at winning Richmond.

Anthony said his reason for not wanting to stand was the same one he had when he decided against running in 2007.

"In politics you are a rooster one day and a feather duster the next. It can be pretty ephemeral.

"When I'm on my death bed it will be my children by my bedside, not the people who voted for me."

So, who will the Nationals turn to?

Nationals Richmond chairman Alan Hunter said people from outside the party are welcome to apply for preselection.

Interested in being the National Party candidate in Richmond?

Murdock pulls out of election

Tweed Daily News

Tania Murdock will not be standing as a National Party candidate for Richmond in the next Federal election. Mrs Murdock accused some in her own party of ‘having their own agenda’ and also said her personal reputation had been unjustifiably attacked by Liberal candidate Joan Van Lieshout.

Mrs Murdock told The Northern Star:

"She (Ms Van Lieshout) flatly refused (to work in together) which was a bit of a surprise seeing we are both on the same side of politics.

“She then made inaccurate claims and deliberately created a negative impression about me personally.”

While conceding that she had made some novice mistakes since winning nomination in December, Mrs Murdock said many of these were blown out of proportion by her enemies within the party.

“Some internal people who have their own agendas politically have jumped on any little mistake they can,” she said.
