    Alexander is surely safe in Bennelong no matter who the candidate is. But that the Libs are already smearing @KKeneally suggests some panic.

        Rumour is he hasn't cleared s 44 and won't run. That is rumour. Not fact. But it's not a terribly safe seat govt polling in the toilet.

        John Alexander set up the Bennelong Cup. I think that might his sole claim to fame over the seven years as MP. http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/newslocal/northern-district-times/sport/worlds-best-table-tennis-players-return-to-the-northern-district-this-weekend-for-the-2016-bennelong-cup/news-story/682f43f9ecaaf7a6cb63f5fe0791a5da … #auspol

        And Alexander getting his citizenship paperwork registered & in order in 10-12 days before noms close where others can take up to 5 weeks. Is someone leaning on the Brits to rush them through.

        if successful it should create a precedent that saves the Labor and NXT MPs as Brits didn't meet own timelines
