New South Wales State Election, 23 March 2019

[Deep Dixieland Senator, Muad'dib (OSR MSR)]

Who do you reckon gets the balance of power in the Legislative Council?

Does Leyonhjelm win a seat? Considering he's quit federal politics to run in this election you'd think he must rate his chances.

From the Wiki on Mark Latham

2013 federal election
On 14 August 2013, during the election federal campaign, Latham was interviewed by the 3AW radio station in Melbourne. He caused controversy when asked to comment on Liberal Party leader Tony Abbott's characterisation of Fiona Scott, the Liberal candidate for Lindsay, as having "sex appeal". Latham responded:

It showed very bad judgment, it showed that he's got low standards. I've had a good look at Fiona Scott [...] and I don't think she's got sex appeal at all. [... Abbott] must have had the beer goggles on because she's not that good of a sort, and I'd rather have an aspirant for the prime ministership who's a good judge when it comes to checking out the good sorts.

Broadcaster Alan Jones called the One Nation results an "extraordinary personal triumph" for Mr Latham.

In announcing his candidacy, Mr Latham identified immigration, congestion, overdevelopment and electricity prices as issues of focus.

He also hit out at "political correctness" and "divisive identity politics" during an interview with Alan Jones on 2GB last year, and has said he wants to end the "spiteful discrimination against men and boys now evident in Australian public life".

He has also proposed cutting Australia's immigration rate.
