Leongs contibution to Local Government campaigns is well known.
Managed to completely stuff up Pledgey Hedley Moffatt’s Campaign when Hedley was the sitting Mayor.
Managed to let the Looney James (aka Tony) long defeat his candidate.
Fowles has no chance if Leong is involved.

The SL will put him into state parliament like they did with the Syrian.
The moolah will really flow then.

I hope Fowles paid Leong for his “moonlighting”.

Ironically most people in the Labor party of both factions- the Carr part of the left and the Right as a whole- would probably feel more comfortable with Kennett than Fowles, with the possible exception of those that fought the bloke tooth and nail when he was Premier.

From what I can see no one currently on Council is running for Lord Mayor (So has not made up his mind as yet). And let us not forget that it was the Labor Government who introduced the directly elected Lord Mayor system which only encourages the less experienced and wealthy to run for Lord Mayor. In spite of all this, it is good Will is running as he probably the only hope of much needed change and fiscal responsibility at Clown Hall.

Your source of information regarding Anthony Leong is gravely incorrect. Anthony has been helping Will after hours and in his own spare time. He did not have a hissy fit following the decision of Admin to ignore the decision of the Municipal Forum which overwhelmingly supported endorsed candidates. He was just disappointed. And last time I looked, Anthony was not a member of the Socialist Left and nor was Anthony. If you were even vaguely interested in the the truth, you would have checked these facts first. But of course, you do have a fondness for not letting the facts get in the way of a good story.

I give him 18% tops maybe an extra 3% if Kennett runs. But not enough to out poll Bamboo John So

Comrade Fowles is a good committee member of the MCC. I would have supported him for that. I will not support him for Lord Mayor of Melbourne. He needs local government or parliamentary experience. The Melbourne City Council is not the Melbourne Cricket Club.

Remember the late Peter Costigan? A nice bloke, but his lack of experience told against him when he was elected Lord Mayor. He had never previously been even on Council. Jeff Kennett, on the other hand, has been Premier and he would be a really outstanding Lord Mayoral candidate.
