Former Lyne Independent MP Rob Oakeshott has announced he’ll contest the seat of Cowper in the upcoming federal election.
Mr Oakshott retired from politics in 2013, but has confirmed his name will be on the ballot on July 2, after The Australian Electoral Commission approved his nomination.
“Over time, I realised I had more to give, and the politics was still in my blood,” Mr Oakeshott said.
“I believe the representation of the Mid-North Coast is currently poor, and I strongly believe I can do better for all of us. Because of this, I feel an obligation to stand, and to allow voters the choice to either agree or disagree.”
