THE POLL BLUDGER INDI
Bordered to the north by the Murray River, Indi covers an area of northern Victoria including Wangaratta, Benalla and the border town of Wodonga. It passed from National Country Party to Liberal control in 1977 when incumbent Mac Holten was defeated by Ewen Cameron on Labor preferences. The Nationals contested in 2001 when Liberal member Lou Lieberman retired, but managed only 12.3 per cent compared with 40.1 per cent for Liberal candidate Sophie Panopoulos, a barrister and Australians for Constititutional Monarchy activist. Panopoulos married during the current term and has assumed her husband's surname of Mirabella. | |
