WA Lib MP Found Dead

Don Randall: Federal Liberal MP for West Australian electorate of Canning found dead

Don Randall, the federal member for the West Australian electorate of Canning, has been found dead.

Police have confirmed Mr Randall was found dead in Boddington, south of Perth.

A spokesman says his cause of death is unknown but it is not being treated as suspicious.

Mr Randall, 62, served as the Member for Swan from 1996 to 1998 and had represented Canning since November 2001.

He worked as a teacher and a marketing consultant before entering politics.

The backbencher played a key role in moves to oust Tony Abbott from the Prime Ministership earlier this year.

Mr Randall gained a reputation as an outspoken politician and his career had been marked by controversy.

He had been embroiled in scandals over travel expenses and was absent when Federal Parliament unanimously passed a motion apologising to the stolen generations.

Condolences to his family.

Lets hope he didn't die of shame, thanks to abbott.

This means Abbott will face the people. A real Poll, from which practical conclusions can be drawn. Thanks Bronwyn. You may have helped the cause.

Abbott will be judged at this by-election and the mob can then decide if they want to go to the slaughter behind him ... or dump him before the federal election. Time for Turnbull to step up and take control.

How long before abbott says something?

I'm sure Abbott will say something soon. This news has only just broken in the last hour or so.

IMO this is not a time for the usual political narkiness. A person has died and he will be missed by all who knew him. Condolences to his family.

That's okay Mechanic. I doubt you'll ever be anywhere near me if ever I am on fire. I am here to talk about politics, not condolences. His Family would never read that anyway.

Bring on the by-election, and let's see how Abbott is really travelling.

This guy was one of the good liberals ... and his aim was to dump abbott. And I would suppose he would be happy if his death serves as momentum to that end.

Wouldn't get to excited , I can tell you the conservative voters over this way form a significant majority and are without doubt the slowest of all of them, they were still thinking Tony was doing a good job 6 months after every other state was panning him. Welcome to WA.

The chances of Labor taking Canning are about as great as Mechanic getting to piss any fire on me, out. But ~ There will be a swing against Abbott for certain.
