A filmmaker from Fremantle, Western Australia, who nearly died 30 years ago in the world’s worst oil rig disaster, has surprised locals in England by popping up as their candidate for Nigel Farage’s Brexit Party in the general election.
On Friday night Punchard was sitting in his new home above the promenade in Tynemouth, an ancient seaside town north of Ed Punchard, Brexit Party candidate for Tynemouth in the north-east of England, in his days as a North Sea oil rig diver. “I’ve got my nose pressed to the double glazing right now looking at the crashing waves, it’s a different kind of beauty but it reaches into my soul because I used to work out there at the bottom of the ocean,” he says.

Aboriginals came from Africa/Asia didn't they? For centuries empires fought and took land as there own, brutal and horrific by any standards, and people settled in these lands. I don't get what the end game is here.

WA executive linked to $2.5m scam labelled one of Australia's 'most serious' cases of public sector fraudThe assistant director general of WA's Department of Communities has been charged with corruption for allegedly stealing more than $2.5 million of public money.
