Former Triple J radio host Alex Dyson has discovered big cracks in the foundation of the once-safe Liberal seat of Wannon in south-west Victoria.
Dyson is a minor celebrity in his hometown after presenting Triple J’s breakfast show between 2010 and 2016.
He turned his attention to politics when he first challenged Tehan’s seat in 2019.
Dyson acknowledged having a public profile has been advantageous but, as history proves, not a sure-fire way to win.
The consecutive losses have cemented a firm sense of resilience.
“The frustration I feel only makes me more determined to see the change I have been advocating for during the past three elections actually come to fruition,” stated Dyson.
And the possibility of a third defeat?
“I couldn’t have worked harder this campaign,” he said.
“We’ve knocked on over 20,000 doors, had conversations with our neighbours about the things they’d like to see changed.
“I’m looking forward to election day reflecting that hard work.”
