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.
