Riverina is a Nationals seat in southwestern NSW, covering Wagga Wagga, Griffith and a number of other towns. It has been held by the Nationals for most of its history, but with the retirement of sitting MP Kay Hull in 2010, the Liberals plan to challenge the Nationals for the seat, as they did in the neighbouring seats of Hume and Farrer in 1998 and 2001. With the ALP having no chance of gaining the seat, the main contest will be between the Liberals and Nationals, and could hinge on the quality of candidates selected.
