Greens candidate imminent

The Greens are due to announce their candidate for the state seat of Albert Park this month.

Southbank Local News understands that the party held its preselection for the seat earlier this month, ahead of the state election on November 24.

By the time of going to press on May 9, the Greens were still unable to confirm their candidate with Southbank Local News.

Many in the community have been left wondering about the timing of the party’s announcement, with the new candidate to have a little over six months to campaign for election.

Current member and minister for creative industries Martin Foley has held the seat since 2007. However, he only currently holds the seat by a mere 3 per cent.

Current City of Port Phillip Cr Andrew Bond was announced as the Liberal Party’s candidate for Albert Park in September last year.
