A local surprise in the Senate list

WELL-known New Norfolk businessman and sportsman Ray Williams has nominated for election to the Senate as a candidate for the Hunters and Shooters Party. While it is not so well known in Tasmania, the party was established in 1992 and has had three members elected to the NSW Legislative Council (one still incumbent).

A long-term resident of New Norfolk, Mr Williams is the co-owner of New Norfolk Mitre 10 Hardware and its associated garden, timber and gun shop businesses. He served for some years on the Derwent Valley Council and is an enthusiastic sporting shooter, fisherman and a past winner of the historic category of Targa Tasmania in his EH Holden.
