Federal Election Preview: Chifley
Preview by me. (Declaration: I know both the ALP and Greens candidates so I'll be sure to keep my preview balanced)
History
Chifley was created in 1969 and is named after former Prime Minister Ben Chifley. Chifley has always been a safe Labor seat with the lowest 2PP margin being 12.98% at the 2004 election. Roger Price is retiring this year after being the member for 26 years.
2007 Results
2PP
70.66%-29.34% Swing: 8.69%
Localities
Arndell Park, Bidwill, Blackett, Colebee, Dean Park, Dharruk, Doonside, Emerton, Glendenning, Hassall Grove, Hebersham, Huntingwood, Lethbridge Park, Marayong, Minchinbury, Mount Druitt, Oakhurst, Plumpton, Rooty Hill, Ropes Crossing, Shalvey, Shanes Park, Tregear, Whalan, Willmot, Woodcroft and parts of Eastern Creek, Blacktown, Quakers Hill, Schofields and Riverstone
Candidates
With Roger Price retiring the ALP has selected union official Ed Husic. Ed ran in Greenway in 2004 and was the victim of a Liberal Party flyer distribution similar to the 2007 Lindsay one. Despite it not coming out that the flyer was a fake Ed missed out on winning the seat by just 0.5%
Though it is STILL not official the Liberals are running David Barker. Barker is the son of Blacktown City councillor Jacqueline Donaldson who is part of the campaign to restore bus services the locals have been campaigning for.
Greens - Debbie Robertson has lived in the Mt Druitt area for over 20 years and has been a carer for 3 disabled sons for most of that time. She is a very active campaigner in the local community and is convenor of the Blacktown Greens.
No other candidates yet.
Prediction
Ed Husic will romp in. Chifley has always been and probably will always be a safe Labor seat.

David Bradbury to seek endorsement to re-contest Lindsay.despite rumours.
David Bradbury has announced that he will seek endorsement to re-contest the federal seat of Lindsay at the next election. David won the seat at the 2007 election with a 9.70% swing having previously been unsucessfully contested in 2004 and 2001. Lindsay is probably most famous for the fake Muslim pamphlet scandal that rocked the Coalition's election campaign in the days leading up to the election.
The announcement comes not long after rumours circulated that David wanted to contest the safer seat of Chifley. Rumours, which David said are false after I asked him about them on Twitter.
I can't see any reason why he won't win endoresment, stranger things have happened though.
