Career Highlights |
|
Gladys Gander was 73 and retired from employment when she ran for election for the seat of Newcastle in 2003. She gave her address as Bankstown, a suburb of Sydney, so her candidature in Newcastle was intended to bolster the vote of her party leader, Pauline Hanson, in her bid for a seat in the Legislative Council of New South Wales. Although she was in first position on the ballot paper, she won only 2.4% of the votes cast. |
