Will the real candidate please stand up? Rafferty’s rules in South Australian election

to The Editor The Advertiser, from Dennis Matthews, 26 Feb 14 It takes a special sort of politician to name a group of candidates after oneself. It is even more bizarre when that politician is not one of those candidates. Yet that is exactly what has happened with three groups in the South Australian Legislative Council election. In two of the cases the politician is not even a South Australian and in the other case the person is already a member of the Federal Upper House.

On top of this there is one group of candidates running under a party name that appears to be based in Canberra and has no information about South Australia or about the state election on its website.

 Talk about Rafferty’s rules. At this rate it won’t be long before we have a group running under the name of a non-Australian politician with interests contrary to those of Australia.
