The former federal member for O'Connor says it is "ludicrous" that a "ridiculous technicality" will prevent the Nationals from fielding a candidate for the WA seat at next month's federal election.More than 1Australians will go to the polls on May 21 with more than 17.2 million people enrolled to vote
Liberal MP Rick Wilson, who was first elected in 2013, is seeking a fourth term as the Member for O'Connor Mr Crook said the party's candidate, who he declined to name, was ruled ineligible on constitutional grounds.around citizenship."But because he decided to have a business … he decided to employ people and put on an apprentice … he was penalised for taking a federal government grant to employ an apprentice … he was effectively a contractor of the Commonwealth and therefore ineligible.
Mr Crook said the candidate was a "well-known shire councillor" who did not want to be named "at this stage".Since Mr Crook retired from federal politics, the Nationals have lost the past three elections in O'Connor — Chub Witham failed to win the seat in 2013 and John Hassell came up short in 2016 and 2019.
Well try to get the Constitution changed then. Whats the point of whingeing?
If you're too stupid to understand the current law then you're too stupid to make new laws.
'Rules are rules', Tony. Being a former politician and still active in politics, I guess that's hard for you to accept.
Rules are rules you flog
Nationals) 'Being expcted to comply with the law is a ridicuous technicality'
I would certainly hope so!
