Vic: Row over background of Kennett successor
A row has erupted over the background of the woman likely to succeed JEFF KENNETT in
his old parliamentary seat of Burwood.
Independent candidate STEPHEN MAYNE claims Liberal candidate LANA MCLEAN has told half
truths by claiming to be a Burwood girl ahead of a December 11 by-election.
Mr MAYNE says a few months ago, running for a different seat in the state election,
Ms MCLEAN told voters she had grown up in the Melbourne suburb of Flemington.
He's challenged Ms MCLEAN to write to Burwood voters with details of her full CV, so
they can see how much of a local girl she really is.
Ms MCLEAN's told radio 3AW she grew up in Flemington until she was 14, when her family
moved to the Burwood electorate.
She's expected to retain the seat for the Liberals, who have a 6.8 per cent margin.
