Local filmmaker, David Bradbury, says he will run against PM Anthony Albanese in his safe Sydney seat of Grayndler as an independent at the upcoming federal election.
Bradbury says, ‘I have just returned from three months shooting a film in the belly of the beast, Washington DC, capital of the world’s mightiest empire’.
‘My determination to take Albo on has grown out of increasing dissatisfaction and grave concern with the direction Australia is headed’.
He says Labor is no longer the great anti-war party of the working class and the poor.
‘I fear our servile attitude to the US will lead us into a war with China, which will very quickly turn nuclear’.
‘Taxes are needed urgently to address the housing crisis in Australia, to build new public hospitals, to lift public education standards for our kids and future-proof Australian homes and small businesses in the firing line of more bushfires and floods.’
