Jess who?

30 Jul, 2010 07:41 PM
AN UNKNOWN 18-year-old who lives in Nowra has secured the number one spot on the ballot paper for the seat of Calare.

Jessyka Norsworthy won’t even cast her first legal vote in Calare but she’ll stand for the seat for the Christian Democratic Party.

She’s now guaranteed to score with donkey voters, after receiving the cherished number one spot in yesterday’s ballot draw.

Second on the ballot will be independent candidate Paul Blanch, while Labor candidate Kevin Duffy will be third.

Independent Karen Romano will be fourth on the paper, followed by Greens candidate Jeremy Buckingham and Nationals candidate John Cobb.

Independent Macgregor Ross, who only announced his nomination this week, was drawn last.

The three candidates who attended yesterday’s draw said they weren’t troubled by their place on the ballot.

“I’d be happy with any place on the ballot paper,” Mr Blanch said.

“I’d be very happy if electors vote one Paul Blanch and then in any order for the six other candidates, because we believe it is their democratic right to vote as they wish.”

Mrs Romano said fourth was “fine”, while Mr Duffy was convinced being number three would work to his advantage.

“That’s one out, one back, most trotters win from there,” he said.

“I’m still feeling confident and I think it’s going to be a good race.”

Mr Cobb said Calare voters would choose the candidate that they felt would best represent the seat.

“This election is about health, the cost of living and about delivering the best for Calare,” he said.

“It’s not about a ballot paper.”

Attempts to contact Miss Norsworthy were unsuccessful yesterday.

Miss Norsworthy is a single mother, who was “brought up in Christian family”, her mother Nolene Norsworthy said.

Nolene is also standing for the Christian Democratic Party in the seat of Macarthur.

She said Jessyka would not attend today’s CDP event in Orange because she would be celebrating her daughter’s first birthday. She did not say if or when she would visit Calare.

Which Labor faction does Kevin Duffy belong to? I would like to know if he is going to attack Kevin Rudd or stab Julia Gillard in the back before I cast my vote.

Got to love those 18-year-old Christian single mums.

Chick with bogan name. Mother who intentionally mis-spells her daughter's name to make it "different". Never mind their policies, they've got my vote.
