In the upcoming federal election, it is the ABGPA’s goal to have a first class cricketer stand in every electorate in Australia, as we look to put a sprig of wattle in the hand of all Australians.
Hear from the candidates on the big issues!
Meghann LANNING, ABGPA candidate for CHISHOLM, on Border Control
“The former captain will be brought under control. By any means necessary.”
Matthew WADE, ABGPA candidate for BRADDON, on The Economy
“Why tax the people when we can instead orchestrate an elaborate casino heist?”
Beth MOONEY, ABGPA candidate for PETRIE, on Foreign Affairs
“What, like with some spicy Brazilian number? I won’t lie. That’s kinda hot.”
Ashleigh GARDNER, ABGPA candidate for WARRINGAH, on Media Regulation
“Enough with all the television shows, America! I still haven’t finished Game of Thrones.”
Marnus LABUSCHAGNE, ABGPA candidate for DAWSON, on Unemployment
“Look. You can never have too many net bowlers…”
Cameron GREEN, ABGPA candidate for CURTIN, on Climate Change
“I’ll keep an eye out for it.”
Marcus STOINIS, ABGPA candidate for SCARBOROUGH, on Industrial Relations

Pat CUMMINS, ABGPA candidate for LINDSAY, on Reinstating The Death Penalty
“A year's suspension was plenty.”

Every Friday, I go through my big list of cricket ideas, and churn out a first draft of something I've got in there. It won't be polished. It may not be interesting. I make no promises. But I'm going to throw something up and see what works and what (infinitely more likely) does not.
