It’s official: Alex Dyson is throwing his hat in the political ring once again! This morning, the All Day Breakfast podcast host announced he would be running as an Independent Candidate for his home seat of Wannon at the next election.
“It’s such a big thing to do… But I couldn’t not do it,” Alex announced.
“I think it’s because it is- despite being extremely taxing and tiring a lot of the time, the good side of it and the people you meet and the sort of hope and goodwill that comes out of running for parliament and taking a little interest…it’s something that I couldn’t not say yes to again.”
Despite Alex officially announcing the news this morning, it seems the major political parties have already begun reacting:
“I think word may have spread around town already,” he continued. “Already, the big parties who are in at the moment have been putting out polling, like there’s people on phones calling random numbers in Wannon, going, ‘What’s your biggest concern about Alex Dyson?’ They’re already doing negative campaign farming on me!”
Take a listen below:
Good luck, Alex!
