ABC TV Media Watch alerted us all to an amusing scenario last night.
It seems that National Party stalwart, Neil Marks, may have to face the possibility of an obviously unplanned loss of income if he is elected as a Lismore City councillor and mayor.
Neil Marks presents the breakfast show on Radio 2LM which is owned by Richmond River Broadcasters.
On this show he informed all and sundry of his registration as a candidate in the forthcoming local government elections and granted himself a bit of free air time to broadly outline his ticket.
Neil Marks: National Party is nothing to do with this. The people I am involved with in the, in the ticket have nothing to do with the National Party whatsoever. We are people who are just concerned, who want to see what we call sensible growth for the area... It will be pretty exciting I think and you know, I'll give it my best shot. — 2LM Breakfast, 13th August, 2008
Mr. Marks then came a cropper.
...should Mr Marks be elected to Council his future tenure at the station will be reviewed by 2LM management.— Email statement from Bill Caralis (Chairman, Richard River Broadcasters) to Media Watch, 1st September, 2008
Statement from Richmond River Broadcasters here.
One may remember that Neil Marks stood for National Party preselection in the seat of Page prior to last year's federal election campaign.
Here is Mr. Marks with his Nationals hat barely disguised when interviewing Joe Hockey during that campaign.
Uncle Joe liked it so much he posted it on his own website.
