Engineer replaces Chipp in Hotham contest
Melbourne engineer Roger Johnston aged 47 was chosen yesterday as the Liberal candidate for Hotham. He won the right to contest the Federal seat held by Don Chipp from nine other party members amid pre selection drama. Former MP John Jess quit the race saying politics had become disenchanted and Canberra weary. Johnston previously challenged Frank Crean for Melbourne Ports and is confident of victory. The Liberal grip on Hotham looks fragile after redistribution and defections to the Australian Democrats. Chipp resigned earlier this year and will seek a Victorian Senate seat.
