Local government elections

Evan MULHOLLAND (Northern Metropolitan) (10:07): Also I want to wish congratulations to my friend Cr Jim Overend on Hume City Council, who was successfully re-elected in Burt-Kur-Min ward. This was despite having a heap of Labor candidates stacking the deck against him. Jim, as a 30-year Craigieburn local, finished with a comfortable thousand-vote victory.

Congratulations also to my friend Hamish Jones, who was successful in his campaign to win in Airport ward in Moonee Valley. The good people of Strathmore, Strathmore Heights and Essendon North have a strong Liberal representative in Hamish Jones.
