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.

Any little mistake? Come on!
The Northern Star 01/06/10:
"On Saturday, the day before Tania Murdock issued a press statement saying she was abandoning her campaign as National Party candidate for the federal seat of Richmond, she crashed her campaign car into a parked vehicle.
A month after being allowed back on the road following a string of speeding offences, Mrs Murdock could face the loss of her driving licence again for negligent driving and driving a car without a current registration sticker.
Yesterday she denied the accident or its repercussions had led to her decision to quit or even that it was the last straw as pressures on her mounted."
