Brunswick 2010: Jane Garrett

Jane Garrett will be Labor's candidate in the Brunswick 2010 elections.

Jane is currently National Coordinator of Union Services for Slater & Gordon Lawyers, as well as a Councillor for Nicholls Ward on Yarra City Council. Jane was elected to Council in November 2008, but she will have to resign her position to contest Brunswick. Alas this means Jane will not be around to 'do her bit to build community well-being' in Yarra. Nor will she be able to fulfill her desire to 'ensure that Yarra residents are able to access quality child care across the municipality'.

It would appear Yarra's loss is Brunswick's gain. Certainly the response from her rivals within the ALP has been surprising in its lack of venom. Former Premier Steve Bracks has dipped in with his support.

Congratulations to Jane on her preselection.

M.Shriek will watch her campaign for Brunswick 2010 with great interest.
