Fiona Patten - Australian Sex Party
Fiona is the convenor of the Australian Sex Party and has had 20 years experience as a lobbyist and industry association CEO around the federal parliament. “I’ve had more experience representing people around the parliament in Canberra than most candidates for a House of Reps seat have had”, she said. “Representing the people of Higgins would be a challenge but I’d hit the ground running”.
Ms Patten’s background is in representing adult retailers and small business operators and she is committed to getting rid of the extraordinary amount of red tape and taxes that hinder people setting up small and family businesses.

He founded The Australia Institute in 1993 and built it into Australia’s leading progressive think tank, serving as its executive director until early 2008 when he took up a position as professor of public ethics at the Centre for Applied Philosophy and Public Ethics.
Clive is particularly well known for his expertise and commentary on the politics and science of climate change, on which he has written two books, with a third on the way. His work on ‘affluenza’ and consumerism, including the ‘downshifting’ phenomenon, has stimulated a national debate on materialism and the sources of happiness.

Steve Raskovy - One Nation
Steve came originally from Hungary in 1956 and has joined One Nation because he knows the horrors of living under a totalitarian regime where only one way of thinking is tolerated people can be jailed for speaking their views.

In 1964 Steve represented Australia as a wrestler at the Tokyo Olympics. He has since been awarded the Order of Australia medal.

John Mulholland - Democratic Labor Party
Mulholland is secretary of the Democratic Labor Party (DLP) and is something of a warhorse for the party, having stood at most state and federal elections since his first contest in Bruce at the 1977 federal election. He had a brief moment of glory at the 2006 Victorian election when he was initially declared elected as a member of the upper house North Metropolitan Region. A re-count revealed a data entry error had boosted the DLP vote, and Mulholland's victory was not confirmed by the re-count. Mulholland has had a varied working life as a fruiterers hand, postie, foundry worker, teacher, guidance officer, school principal, psychologist in one of Melbourne s major hospitals and now as DLP activist. He was married in 1968 and has six adult children and six grandchildren (Info and Picture Source: Antony Green)
