Mallard runs again
Openly gay South Sydney councillor Shayne Mallard will head a Liberal Party ticket for the Sydney City Council elections in March.
Although Mallard has not yet been formally endorsed by the party, he will contest the lord mayoralty under a campaign slogan of “You can’t trust Labor”.
There are no Liberals on the current Sydney City Council, but the conservatively aligned councillors Kathryn Greiner and Nick Farr-Jones will be retiring at the 27 March election.
Labor’s candidate for lord mayor, Michael Lee
