He is no stranger to elections, having run for the Victorian state seat of Ovens Valley in 2014 and a spot on Alpine Council multiple times.
The tactics will not change this time around, with Mr Dyer continuing to wear the Ned Kelly T-shirts and armour he was known for and campaign with his pet goat by his side.

“Tourism up this way is going to be a big issue,” Mr Dyer said.
“I’m having a go and nobody can knock me for having a go.”
The widower said he would not “take any rot” from other politicians, but was happy to work with any of the major parties to make a difference.
