TV personality and Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas launches bid to run for WA Liberals
Perth Lord Mayor Basil Zempilas announces he will be seeking WA Liberal Party preselection in Churchlands, capping lengthy speculation about his ambition to enter the state political arena.
Nothing like a bit of star power to get an early boost. I wonder what super relatable comments about the homeless he makes in this campaign. Hopefully none.
He is running for the liberal party, so the homeless comments would actually be super relatable with a large portion of his voter base.
Maybe, but Kate Chaney is the federal member for Curtin, which has a significant overlap with the State electorate of Churchlands, and the teal candidates benefitted a lot from a swing to them on the perception of women in the Liberal party.
