Three of Tasmania’s fifteen Legislative Council electorate go to the polls on Saturday. Tasmania’s Legislative Council members serve six year terms, with their terms gradualy expiring over a six-year cycle. These are the first elections sinc e Legislative Council boundaries were redrawn last year.
I won’t try and cover them in detail, as there are detailed guides to each race both at Poll Bludger and the Tasmanian Politics blog. My contribution is in map form, as you can download a Google Earth map of Tasmanian state electoral boundaries over at my maps page.
I am a newcomer to Tasmanian politics. I have decided to run for the seat of Pembroke as an Independent candidate on August 1 2009.
I hope everyone will wish me well and give me a fair go.
Please take a chance on me like the song ABBA sang.
I was born on the 7.11.1958
Being 50 years of age I thought this is the time to do something special.
The death of MJ at the age of 50 also gave me a reality check.
I may not have much time left to do all the things which I wish to achieve in life.
I love Tasmania. It is indeed a special and unique place on earth.
I think when I pass away I would like to be cremated and my ashes scattered from the top of Mt Wellington and then I could just Sandy Bay where I live now.
You may think I must be suffering from insomnia as it is very early in the morning. I am an early riser as I believe…….
Early to bed and early to rise will make me healthy, wealthy and WISE ( I hope).
I think I’d better go now.
Adios, Chao,
Sayonara, Chai Chien
