Larry in the hot seat

Article Abstract:

Community Services Minister Larry Anthony is a third-generation Australian politican, who may be under threat of losing the parliamentary seat of Richmond that his family has held almost exclusively since 1937. The seat is the most marginal in the country, and the 6500 caravan park residents, who have had a general sales tax imposed on their site rents, can swing the election either way.
