Election Nominations and Candidates Profiles

This post is for potential candidates to post information about themselves.
Please post a comment below with the relevant information.
We will notify the election dates once they have been announced.
It should be noted that State and Territory nomination and election dates will be advertised by the Australian Electoral Commission in the major newspaper of each State.
Further information should be available at the AEC website:

We are having a difficulty overcoming SDA censorship.  There are approximately 300,000 of us members.  We all have family and friends, some working in the media.  We would ask that you use whatever contacts you have to raise the profile of the site.  What we are attempting is a real David & Goliath situation and for candidates to have any hope of success they need to reach as many members as possible.

We are not attempting to influence how people vote, only providing an opportunity for members to express their democratic rights.

We would hope all candidates, both sitting and potential, let the membership know their plans for the future in relation to restoring a decent wage and conditions.

Michael Donovan, State Secretary of the SDA, is presently circulating a news bulletin titled "UNSIGNED BULLETINS".  Below is our response:


Firstly, the RRR SDA GROUP is not affiliated in any way with any trade union or organisation.  It is not there to promote itself or individuals but to encourage fellow SDA members to take an interest in the unions' future.
