of RichmondKen SapwellGREATDISCOUNTSON ALL FURNITUREThe fight for the federal seat of Richmond is shaping up as a three-way all-female contest after Pottsville businesswoman Tania Murdock, pictured, threw her hat into the ring. The -year-old mother of three is a front-runner for national party
pre-selection to contest the seat held by Labor MP and Minister for Ageing, Justine Elliot, since . Ms Murdock is expected to be joined in the three-way contest by former Tweed mayor and sitting councillor Joan van Lieshout who is seeking Liberal Party pre-selection.

Ms Murdock and Cr van Lieshout face an uphill battle to wrest the seat from Ms Elliot who held onto it at last years election, increasing her winning margin by almost nine per cent on the back of voter dissatisfaction with former Liberal PM John Howard. Ms Elliot narrowly won the seat from the National Party MP and Minister for Youth Affairs, Larry Anthony. The seat, which for decades had been the natural preserve of the Nationals, was first won by Labor when Mullumbimby school teacher Neville Newell emerged from obscurity to defeat an uninspiring Charles Blunt in .REDUCTIONSON ALL ELECTRICALHUGEIntroduction to grail quest
