Battle for Sturt heats up as Wilson faces Foster

In South Australia a fierce local clash for the Sturt seat pits Ian Bonython Cameron Wilson, former federal MP, against Norman Foster, a tough Labour-linked waterside worker. Wilson runs a full campaign, while Foster warns the Wilson clan cannot win back Sturt. The piece also notes Wilson’s lineage, education, and wartime service, contrasting his establishment image with Foster’s working-class appeal.
