Zahra Stardust eyes up Brendan Nelson’s seat of Bradfield

Politics requires an ability for contortion, but one of the new candidates for Brendan Nelson’s seat of Bradfield takes acrobatics to a new level.<\/p>\n

A young woman named Zahra Stardust is the latest to add her name to the huge field jostling for the seat, which goes to the polls on December 5.<\/p>\n

And her pre-politics job? She’s a pole dancer.<\/p>\n

Ms Stardust is backed by the Australian Sex Party<\/a>. She also has her own website<\/a>, though we should perhaps offer the warning that those with dicky hearts ought to think twice before checking it out.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The other boring candidates are Paul Fletcher<\/a> (Tory); Susie Gemmell<\/a> (Greens); and perhaps as many as 11<\/a> right-wing Christian fundamentalists belonging to Fred Nile’s Christian Democrats.<\/p>\n

Nominations close at midday on Thursday, November 12, 2009.<\/p>\n

I should note that my heart was broken when Warwick Capper promised<\/a> and then failed<\/a> to nominate for the seat of Beaudesert in the Queensland state election in March, 2009.<\/p>\n

PS. Did you know that Brendan Nelson is a medical doctor? Certificate and everything.<\/p>\n

Go! Go! Go! Go!<\/h2>\n
