Savants and patriots alike will be keen to know the precise detail of who has nominated where in the Victorian ALP preselections. As you can see, for the most part, incumbents have been re-preselected. In some cases, not so shy and retiring Keilor MP George Seitz has put up some candidates to ensure that the incumbents stay in touch with their membership. In others, the SDA, CFMEU/AMWU unions have had some fun bringing on contests, in places where many expect they are likely to win nothing but opprobrium.
Enjoy.

I only do this cause Uncle George buy me plenty beer and dirty books from the money his trusty biscuit tin.
Ok boss but please don’t forget me yeah I’m not geting any younger
this is a game so George gets ataonovski elected. He will withdraw candidates if his dear Troy gets elected. Will shorten and conroy give in
looks to me like George has got preselections confused with brimbank council elections as all the candidates are the same candidates he has been running in council elections for years
Some of these may be a recipe for disaster. We all know all who all the duds are and they are back. Terry will be Premier.

Natalie Sykes Hutchins ?
The wife of NSW Senator Steve Hutchins?
Does that mean his Senate career is over or the marriage is over?
Steve is still living in Glenbrook in the Blue Mountains so…….
what? is labor conceding caulfield already?
Bye bye Craig Langdon
The circus tent appears to have some attraction for so many clowns.
22:17, nominations were only declared for held seats (plus Morwell)
Brimbank Council Hacks:
Calwell: Manfred Kirchbaum (this is the correct spelling) – Father of Heidi Seitz who married into the Seitz family. Heidi is a current Brimbank City Councillor.
Mill Park: Roza Mitrevski. Dummy candidate in Taylors Ward giving votes back to Heidi Seitz – received 278 votes from over 30,000 formal votes. Didn’t respond to local newspaper interview requests.
Northcote: Teresa Kiselis – Mother in law of Maria Kiselis, current Brimabnk City Councillor. Teresa also ran against Natalie Suleyman when she was first elected.
Mate Barun – Seitz loyalist who helps out during elections. A fellow Croatian whose English is not very good. His Daughter Suzie Barun was a Seitz dummy candidate for Peter Gelo.
Thomastown: Bozinovski – Not sure but perhaps related to Brimbank Councillor Robert Bozinovski – but then again he works in O’Connor’s office.
Yet further proof that the stability pact only brought mayhem.
Further proof of how desperately needed the stability pact backed by Brumby and Gillard was. Consider that Seitz and the SDA were in charge of the Right until their greed blew up in their faces. Now we see their true psycho colours. Joe De Bruyn should intervene.
Mark Kennedy(Withdrawn 18/6/09) – Kennedy is widely expected to replace Madden if/when he retires??? This useless lug is a stooge of the Hulls group. He is a close mate of convicted ex staffer Gordo Lennox. he boasts around town that he has been an adviser to the Premier. But he is the dumbest shit head since crap was first invented and he is detested in many circles. If he ever got ALP nomination, many would vote Liberal
Has the stability pact brought stability? No.
STAY Youth Services comes back to haunt Craig Langdon, bye bye.
Good on Kathleen Mathews-Ward for taking on Fiona Richardson – partner of seedy ALP state secretary Stephen Needham!!!
ooops Stephen Newnham….
andy richards the amwu hack you must be kidding how desperate is the amwu. but just look at the talent pool steve dargavel, bronwyn halpenny and others there past comming back to haunt them, but lot more to come on them all yet

WE DON’T WANT YOU, VAMVAKINOU: Calwell Voters Condemn Arrogant Out-of-Towner
The Hume Leader newspaper that covers all of the City of Hume made clear what the OC has been saying for some time: Maria Vamvakinou is a despised Member of Parliament, loathed for her arrogance and ineffectiveness.
It makes for a devastating critique of Vamvakinou’s out of control, out of town arrogance.
When locals were asked by the paper whether people thought Calwell federal Labor MP Maria Vamvakinou could properly represent constituents when she lived in Northcote, the responses were very clear:
■ Dee Lane of Glenroy said: “I suppose if she is not living in the area she doesn’t know what’s really going on.”
■ Andrew Johnson of Broadmeadows said “I think she should be living here – how does she know what’s going on in Broady if she lives in Northcote?”
■Clarry Mather of Broadmeadows said “I reckon she ought to spend some time here. I reckon she should live around here, you only hear things (otherwise).”
■ Samantha from Roxburgh Park said “I think that if you’re going to represent a place, you should live there – your judgment is better when it (the issues) affects you personally.”
■Troy Mantana of Broadmeadows said “No – she knows nothing about Broady and doesn’t know what the lifestyle is like”

No renewal of the Caucus, same old tired faces re-endorsed. The stability agreement is the final act of cowardice that sets in train the inevitable.
Next stop electoral defeat!
Brunswick is a lesser place without Lambros Tapinos MP
The same old tired faces being reendorsed was part of the stability deal as it was claimed this was needed to prevent the round of preselections being an acrimonious blood bath due to the simmering tensions. Thus Marsha entering the factional fray again, as she is extremely passionate about securing her nice easy taxpayer funded lifestyle.
The Ambition Faction do have a point about the deadwood factor, although clearly their motives are not necessarily pure.
Is Peter Batchelor still in Parliament or has he retired without telling anyone?
Joker, Senator Hutchins has been boned, quite appropriate for a man described by Latham as being in the bonehead faction of the NSW Right. Natalie’s spot has got a lot to do with his relationship with Conroy and her relationship with Shorten. She’s been foisted on Keilor because Shorten couldn’t deliver her Essendon,the seat she thought she was born too. ALP members in the state seat of Essendon have breathed a sigh of relief….
Time for some renewal in Calwell.
Sherriff for Calwell
Madam Lash has exposed the truth.
The right have taken Keilor from their Boomer generation dynasty and given it to their Gen X. dynasty.
Nothing changes, the ShortCon-Brumby stormtroopers continue to impose members with no talent. Natalie did nothing as Assistant Sec of VTHC in the Kennett era when leadsership was needed and will do nothing for the patriot people of Keilor while she accrues the second parliamentary pension for her household. That is on top of her husband’s generous union pay-out he gave himself when he left the union for the senate!
ALP deserve to lose Keilor for treating the community with such contempt.
Madam L*sh has exposed the truth.

you dickhead
there is no parliamentry pension
hello welcome to 2009
Hey anonomous june 27 2009 11.59, as a Senator Hutchins will be entitled to his super pension when he is relegated from his spot. Are you one of his six kids from goodness knows how many wives?
Hutchins was married to current NSW MP Di Beamer.
He did get a large payout from the TWU when he bolted…he wrote the check himself. That fact was outed in the Daily Telegraph about 2 years ago.
Arbib made sure Hutchins wont be on the Senate ticket for NSW next go around. Steve’s spot has been promised to Graeme Wedderburn, who is currently assigned to save the unsaveable neck of NSW Premier Nathan Rees.
Hutchins has made millions from the union business and the Senate. Natalie is also a director of a media consultancy firm called Global Media and they have a few well paying clients such as the TWU.
These people just cant stop milking the cash cow.
People like Hutchins and his missus use the ALP as their own private ATM. The Party is full of the glad-handed, money-grubbing dogs.
They fill our parliaments, add not a thing to any progressive social legislation, whine about the Liberals while hoping to climb the social ladder themselves. They have as much in common with working Australians as they like to keep saying as Malcolm Turnbull would have with a Salvation Army second-hand clothes shop.
Sykes-Hutchins did SFA at the VTHC and now she gets a safe seat because she is cosy with Billy and Stevie.
Would the last true Labor Party person please turn off the lights on their way out?
Isn’t this the point the unions have been making? I thought the reason they didn’t sign up to the ten year agreement is because they wanted a few performers in the parliament?
“N*talie did nothing as Assistant Sec of VTHC in the Kennett era when leadership was needed and will do nothing for the p*triot people of K*ilor while she accrues the second parliamentary pension for her household”

I’m not a Seitz fan but didn’t he combine with others to make sure the ALP’s name wasn’t damaged by ensuring a very average candidate beat a scandal plagued candidate? Doesn’t the pact only work to get rid of George cleanly if everyone signs on, which clearly they did not. If Left and Right had brought supporters along, George would be toast. Just an idea.
I’ll kick Joanne’s bottom in Macedon. Freedom for Sunbury
Best of luck Jose, hope you have a big campaign fund and results that you have delivered before the next election JOANNE RULES MACEDON
Anonymous 19:38 I suppose next you will tell us that George Sheitz & Judy Madagain won’t be getting parliamentary pensions? You are the biggest dick head.
anon 20:01 Scandal plagued candidate?? Seitz supported an average candidate? yeah right a blow in not a local a puppet of Sietz, Natalie Suleyman will have the last laugh never the less she can pull in 10,000 votes in the Seat of Keilor!!!
That handsome Rick Garroti can reresent me anyday. Wow!
Forget about it, Mr Carbines is my man!
Only Rick would spell ‘represent’ as ‘reresent’.
Learn how to spell you brain surgeon. Langdon’s no prize but you’re not the kind of renewal anyone needs- Carbines over you any day mate
anon | June 28, 2009, 11:34
you are the reason cousins should not breed!!
Bracks Government ended the pension scheme for all new entrants to Parliament
Well we shall see about that Al Killara. Now we all know Joanne has her work cut out for her this time around don’t we just. I hear there is a SURPRISE candidate from a Labor group ready to knock Joanne off. Joanne could not give two hoots about Sunbury for that matter does she know where Sunbury is?
Scott Crawford should have nominated
Some are saying STAY youth services may haunt the sitting member for Ivanhoe. I’m not to sure…

I think this was posted by Chris Parkin from Hutchins office.
Will his staffers have to move to Victoria too? Old Bonehead cant do much without them.
Shortens “gift” to the people of the West (he’s so generous) sums up his complete arrogance and apathy with anything but his own aganda (ambition for PM). No consultation with the community , no discussions with local members, no understanding of the key issues of keilor and clearly the neglect over the seitz regime .This decision highlights the backslapping ,and internal cowardice of his faction. Nepotism by stealth has become the way of the ALP in the West ..why we have so many talentless , union hacks.Keilor deserves better
BTW it is also the height of hypocrisy, that these beacons of Labor right all had their training ground in Unions (I call it the union farm) where they were taught in the major tenets of consultation, communication and negotiation , this process highlights their utter hypocrisy and complete disreguard of the rank and file.Keilor deserves better.
Essendon deserves better than that idiot Justin Madden.
Eastern Metro deserves better, than the Slop Cop, Rat Dog Riva.
Craig got Rick Rolled
Poor Derek Belan…
It must be hard being a union secretary when your organisers spend more time posting anonymous comments on vexnews than they do looking after their members.
Maybe it’s time they got a real job.
What gets me is how that most “honest” of Attorneys General is willing to bag every single democratically elected councillor in the state who works for an MP but say nothing about the named Brimbank Crs and the named MPs. Infact, one of the MPs named in the Report has now been re appointed as ALP candidate for his seat. And you dare to accuse Crs of being corruptable Mr Hulls? My cousin is one of these people. She is honest, bloody hard working and now hates your rotten to the soul guts. All Crs know that you are behind this whole ‘attack Crs’ thing and we need to ask why? What are you on about? Why have you refused to talk with Crs and instead issued decrees? What did you know of any of this since the characters in the report are all in your ALP faction and the area is next to your own seat. Well Hullsy?
No Aston or Scoresby?
ALP members cant vote but all have been invited for drinks at the pub with Bill & Hulls, mmmm
To make it easier for you folk you can call me [deleted]
can anyone confirm that Rosemary Barker has also nominated for South East Metro.. I hope its a bad rumour
It could be the S/E Bathing Beautys : Rosemary and Inga!!
ewww… excuse me while i choke
andy, does this list need updating?
I am amazed Tammy Lobato found her way out of her lounge room to nominate. Nobody ever sees her around the electorate.
I think scott crawford will do a better job than carbines coz he is a local, smart and a honest man.
