Conlan preselected for Greatorex

Rick Setter, President of the Country Liberal Party, has announced that Matt Conlan will be the CLP's candidate for the Greatorex by-election.

"I'm delighted the party has chosen such a high quality candidate to replace Dr. Richard Lim, the long serving CLP Member for Greatorex,” says Mr Setter.

"By-elections are by their nature unpredictable, particularly when the retiring member is as effective and popular as Richard Lim has been throughout his 13 years of service”

"Matt Conlan is precisely the type of candidate the CLP needs to be able to run a strong campaign in the seat of Greatorex.”

"His work on 8HA has established him as a passionate advocate for the people of the town of Alice.”

"He's also very much in touch with the concerns and hopes of the people of Alice.”

"The CLP is well aware that we are in for a tough fight with the Labour Party for the seat.”

"The ALP went perilously close to winning the seat at the last Territory election and will have plenty of money to throw at the bi-election this time around.”

"We will need to run a good campaign to keep them at bay.”

"With Matt Conlan as our candidate we have made a good start to retaining the seat.
