NOTE:
For many of us on the Fraser & Sunshine Coast our Federal Electorates have actually changed, so the people you have been voting for may not be the same at all. We are covered by three main Federal Electorates here, Fisher, Fairfax & Wide Bay, so it might be a good idea (if you have not already been contacted by a candidate) to double check with the
Australian Electoral Commission
as to which Federal Electorate you are actually in. The graphic on the right is from a great Google site which will show you a map where you can enter your area and more...
There are an awful lot of Senate Candidates, so please visit this page to see them all listed: 2007 Federal Election 'Queensland Senate Candidates'
We have tried to contact everyone, though it has not been possible in all cases, therefore if we are missing your candidacy information, please 'contact us' with your details and we will get them up online in this area for you :)
