Liberals announce Clark candidates to complete ticket

 

Premier Jeremy Rockliff has today announced the seven Liberal Candidates for Clark, completing the Liberals' full suite of 35.

"This election wasn’t our choice. Labor forced the election on you because they are more interested in political games than Tasmanian families," Premier Rockliff said.

"While Labor struggled to scrape together their full ticket, we're standing here proudly announcing our final seven candidates for Clark.

"Madeleine Ogilvie and Simon Behrakis are dedicated to their community and have been delivering in Parliament for their local communities.

"Maddy and Simon are valued members of our Liberal team, and I’m excited to see them running again in Clark.

"Marcus Vermey and Marilena Di Florio are eager to serve Clark and have worked hard in the community.

"Marcus, a well-respected local butcher and business owner, is a familiar face in his community for many reasons. He gives young people a go in the shop, he coaches local sport, and he does all of it with a smile.

"Marilena is a veteran of the Australian Defence Force; it would be fair to say she knows what it takes to perform under pressure. She has also had a stellar 17-year career in the Department of Health.

"David Wan, Edwin Johnstone and Jess Barnett are three Tasmanians who are driven to finish the job for Tasmania.

"David and Jess are both enthusiastic advocates for the needs and future of all young Tasmanians.

"Edwin has been a passionate advocate for small businesses and understands how important it is for Government to back our hardworking small business owners, and ensure they have the confidence and conditions they need to thrive.

"While Labor and the Greens argue, we’ve been delivering better healthcare, more housing, and responsible cost-of-living relief.

“A majority Liberal Government is the only way to keep Tasmania moving forward with certainty, stability, and efficiency.

“This election comes down to one choice: a strong Liberal team with a real plan or another merry-go-round of chaos and compromise.

“Let’s get on with it.

“Let’s finish the job for Tasmania.”
