Antinuclear

The pro-nuclear campaigner today said he was being approached by party members and backers to return to politics, after losing his spot in the Senate at last year’s federal election. Mr Edwards said he was not ruling anything out, and may stand for Liberal preselection in the Port Pirie-based seat of Frome, where independent minister Geoff Brock is currently the MP…….

Mr Edwards has been a vocal supporter of the nuclear industry, and urged the state Liberals to reverse their blanket opposition to further investigation of options, including a dump, for SA. “I never finished my political agenda,” he said……..

To win preselection to stand in Frome, Mr Edwards would need the backing of local branch members.

Liberal MPs canvassed about his chances of becoming leader have ridiculed the concept.  http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/former-liberal-senator-sean-edwards-considers-run-for-state-parliament-refuses-to-rule-out-standing-for-party-leadership/news-story/f088e056d1da90e5a6156282ca38892a
