Former rocker and now National Party member Angry Anderson says he is definitely interested in seeking preselection for the federal seat of Gilmore as the tit-for-tat dispute between the Liberals and Nationals over NSW seats escalates. Mr Anderson, the former frontman of the band Rose Tattoo, has the backing of the NSW Nationals, including Senator John Williams. "I would suggest that Angry Anderson should run for the Nationals in Gilmore," Senator Williams said. "What's more, he would win it." Mr Anderson said today "I would, definitely" when asked if he would be interested in putting his name forward for Gilmore, which skirts the southern NSW coast and encompasses the Shoalhaven. "I love the area," he said. Advertisement In April, the Liberal Party preselected former Kiama councillor Ann Sudmali as its candidate for Gilmore, which has been held by the Liberals MP Joanna Gash since 1996. Ms Gash is retiring at the election meaning, under Coalition rules, both Coalition parties are entitled to contest. But to save resources which can be wasted in messy, three-cornered contests, it is generally agreed that, in certain seats, only one party runs. These seats are usually determined under a NSW Coalition agreement but the agreement, which was supposed to be finalised in June, is still unresolved because of a dispute revolving around the seat of Hume. That south-central NSW seat is being vacated by the retiring Liberal MP Alby Schultz, and the Liberals have already preselected businessman Angus Taylor as their candidate. Opposition Leader Tony Abbott has strongly endorsed Mr Taylor, and the Liberals are pressuring the Nationals behind the scenes not to run for Hume. But the Nationals are determined to run and, if they do, the candidate is likely to be either the NSW Nationals Senator Fiona Nash, the state government minister Katrina Hodgkinson or state upper house member Niall Blair. Today, it was reported the Liberals are considering running a candidate for Lyne, held by the independent Rob Oakeshott and it is being regarded by the Nationals as payback for them being determined to run for Hume. The Nationals have already preselected for Lyne a doctor, David Gillespie, who is a close friend of Mr Abbott and was best man at his wedding. The mooted Liberal candidate is former rugby league star Matt Adamson. One senior Liberal source denied the threat to run Mr Adamson was a tit-for-tat response for Hume but said it might be necessary to run two conservative candidates so they could preference each other and ensure Mr Oakeshott is defeated. Senator Williams said Mr Adamson was welcome to run for Lyne and Mr Anderson was welcome to run for Gilmore. Mr Anderson joined the Nationals about a year ago. "I like the Nationals as a party, I like their morals and they have a strong Christian component," he said. He has cut a public profile more recently as an anti-carbon tax campaigner.

I think the Libs should tell their little bitch to pull their heads in. But who am I to say?  ;D

At least he should be able to sing better than Emerson.

yes, angry. You leg. Come on down.

Atleast you dont dance like a deuche bag.

Oh, please God, let it be so! ;D

The man is completely insane. As an avowed enemy of the LP I'd dearly love to see them associate themselves with a man of Anderson's demeanour. Plus the lolz would be epic ;D

Perhaps, this one should go in Extremism Exposed?

Angry (old man) Anderson, your next National Party MP?

If I wasn't a complete non believer, I may be tempted to say, God Save us?

Just what we need in federal parliament, a washed up old hack with small mans syndrome.
The Coalition are beginning to look like an olde time circus freak show  ;D

So, what of Peter Garrett then? His political career has been less than stellar.

What has Anderson got to do with Garrett. If Anderson wants to stand, he'll be judged on his own performance.

I like angry he does good things for people less fortunate and he says what he thinks..

if he doesnt like it you hear about it..he doesnt get behind the line like a wimp like garrett does..

thats right let him be judged on what he does..

at least he hasnt sung about burning beds and saving the aborigine and pretending to love trees..

at least I hope not. :D

So does Peter Garrett. The difference between these two rockers is that Anderson actually makes sense while Garrett is just plain off his rocker and should stick with making childish political statements via songs.
