Background Bignell was a high-profile ABC sports reporter and later a media adviser to Pat Conlon. Political career Bignell finished ahead of incumbent Liberal member Robert Brokenshire with a 52.2 percent two party preferred vote at the 2006 state election, delivering Mawson to Labor for the first time since it was lost in the 1993 election landslide.

Bignell's victory was critical in allowing Labor to eke out a narrow two-seat majority ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
