Sussan Ley

Ballot order: 5

Party: Liberal

Bio: Sussan Ley is likely to be celebrating another win early on Saturday evening. There has been no groundswell of opposition against the sitting member unlike what was seen in Indi in 2013. Ms Ley has been a fixture at several Farrer forums to debate her challengers. Read more.

Amanda Cohn

Ballot order: 2

Party: The Greens

Bio: Albury doctor Amanda Cohn declared for the Greens late last year and has travelled to the far reaches of the electorate to try and boost the Greens numbers. The withdrawal of the Labor candidate from the election is likely to benefit her the most. Read more.

Ron Pike

Ballot order: 1

Party: Australian Liberty Alliance

Bio: Ron Pike has been one of the most vocal challengers in this year’s election for Farrer. Coming down from Griffith, he’s main focus has been attacking the water policies of the coalition specifically the Murray Darling Basin Plan. He says it would “destroy every community in this electorate”. Mr Pike has also been in the media for his comments about the aboriginal people of Australia and those of the Muslim faith. Read more.

Trevor O’Brien

Ballot order: 7

Party: Mature Australia

Bio: Mr O’Brien is a farmer and transport manager from Griffith in the northern reaches of the electorate and was roped into the gig after being coaxed by fellow contender Brian Mills. He wants to see a “transaction tax” of one or two cents on every transaction for everyone. Mr O’Brien’s party wants the pension to be raised to 75 per cent of the minimum wage. Read more.

Paul Rossetto

Ballot order: 3

Party: Christian Democratic Party (Fred Nile Group)

Bio: Paul Rossetto’s party polled the lowest in the last federal election. The Griffith City councillor made the most waves this election by claiming Ms Ley’s website had information saying she was in support of same-sex marriage, something Ms Ley rejected. Mr Rossetto’s party is pro-life and against euthanasia. Read more.

Brian Mills

Ballot order: 4

Party: Independent

Bio: Disillusioned with the major parties, Brian Mills also has concerns about water and specifically the orange industry telling The Area News “I have issued and advertised 26 debate challenges (to Sussan Ley), the most pressing debate relates to my long term plans to save the Valencia orange industry.” Read more.

Christian Kunde (Withdrawn)

Ballot order: 6

Party: Labor

Bio: Trainee doctor Christian Kunde from Albury was a late addition to the race and the first to exit amidst controversy over his alleged links to an Islamic extremest group. Mr Kunde withdrew from the election but it was too late for Labor to get another candidate. His name will still appear on ballot draws and his preferences flow elsewhere. Read more.
