ALP activist and staffer Conrad French, who achieved federal election campaign legend status by Speedo-streaking through the Knox City shopping centre in a cold winter’s day, unaided by sock, is set to be elected to the Victorian ALP’s highest-ranking preselection panel, the all-powerful Public Office Selection Committee.
Only one hundred of the Victorian ALP’s elite, including politicians, union secretaries, warlords, hacks and number-crunchers are on the high-ranking body which has at least a 50% input into every preselection contest and pre-selects all Senate candidates.
French is aligned to Labor Senator David Feeney and his Health Services Union powerbase, now centrally run by highly regarded Sydney-based unionist Mike Williamson, a former national President of the ALP and leading light within the NSW Right. Party insiders explain that Conrad had pulled sufficient support in the ballot which closed yesterday in order to get elected to the POSC:
â€Conrad definitely has a quota (of votes) to get elected, he’s a more serious player than he’s been given credit for. He shouldn’t be blamed for casting decisions made above his pay-grade. It’s not really fair.â€
Voting in their internal elections closed yesterday but VEXNEWS has been told the count will be delayed until after the federal election as all the party’s resources are absorbed in that but French’s own election is assured, VEXNEWS understands.

Conrad,You can be in my faction anytime. Give me a call or text. I needed you six months ago.
Conrad was a clown before budgiegate and will continue to be. Good work for contining to promote someone who’s greatest achievement is the high score in age of empires.
Please tell me you are kidding. Conrad has never worked more than 2 hours in a day in his life. The man thinks he’s a future factional warlord but he will more likely continue as a full time party bludger for the rest of his sad days.
Everyone knows Conrad likes blokes. He’s going to end up in the greens, kissing up to Bob Brown.
Is he a Xavier College old boy?
So in other words he is Feeney’s puppet and will do as whatever feeney tells him to do. Like run through a shopping centre half naked…
Yes and next week he French will PM if he copies the redheads killer style
hey french can go abbott about his predilection for red speedos but no one dare say a word against the redhead
what a double standard same goes for all this nonsense about a woman Pm imagine if men carried on that way about a man PM!
Conrad is a brown nosing,arse kissing sycophant who has never had an intellignet or indepndent thought in his life. He is on POSC only to tow the line of his masters.
Sycophant is a big word don’t think Conrad would know what it means
I would suggest that Conrads hat start preparing for prision
I’m not Droutsas trust me! I am merely a casual observer of Conrad’s on going and long standing ineptitude.
What ever you say george
Doesn’t really matter who he is Conrad is still a clown, headed for a life mediocrity and disappointment
Conrad let run my sweet little tongue all over your body
I am not sure who is running the ALP Campaign Headquarters but I must admit I think their game plan sucks. There is a lot more they could do to promote the message seeking re-election. Much would cost nothing. They are just not suing the media as well as they could and should. Are they asleep or are they just checking the fat and following a do nothing low profile strategy. Seriously they could go the way that Latham went. His campaign was the worst on record. Three main and only thing going for the ALP is Gillard herself. These side shows do nothing to help.

whoever is putting my name on false opinions cut it out -u r seriously sick idiots – by the way I presume u r from HSU – tell me why have u called ANOTHER election 9 months after the last one. I thought it was for 4 years – someone being paid off again. Just because Williamson helped do Rudd over, does not mean that he can win everything. Andrew, why don’t you put up Diana or have they stitched the rules up so tight that whoever is elected to Victoria No. 1 will have no say in anything and will be a puppet to Williamson and Jackson. TS bet you regret the day you made a very wrong call
I have seem some labor staffers without their speedos. Oh the taste of shaved balls in my mouth makes me want to take another trip to the bath house for some pipe cleaning.
Whiney Piney you must come along to Sunday School and meet my Choir Boys.
It must have been really cold that day…..
I like the arse kissing type. As long as they are also prepared to run their tongue around my a-hole. A good spot of rimming makes me a very happy Duchess

It looks like he has a small dick, but it could have been the cold.
Labor wannabees cannot have balls at all, they capitulate to the whims of all fringe groups, the Courts are stacked with Laborite twits and gutless wonders who are not interested in serving justice, the Labor party bows to the pressure of minority groups who scream loud and long they have no interest in serving the decent community, they try to appease the whingers and the so-called social do-gooders.
