And now it’s time for the last candidate who I will be reviewing for this election! Sean Brocklehurst is one of two Socialist Alliance candidates contesting this election (the other is in Geelong), but since he is the one in my electorate – boy, is he in my electorate, there are flyers everywhere! – he’s the one who gets reviewed this time around.
His tagline is “Community Need, not Corporate Greed”, and he uses it every chance he gets. It’s a good tagline, but it’s reaching drinking-game status in my slightly-obsessed little world…
Since Mr Brocklehurst has his own election site, and since the Socialist Alliance have a *lot* of policies at the federal level, I shall stick to reviewing what Mr Brocklehurst has to say about himself – which, since he has his own website and also appears to be a journalist for Green Left Weekly, is plenty! For a more detailed look at Socialist Alliance policies, I refer you to my review of them earlier this year.
Mr Brocklehurst’s How to Vote Card is much as one might expect – Greens, Labor, Independent Francesco Timpano, Liberal, and Family First. Straight left to right, in other words, in best socialist style.
