Three never before elected Greek-Australians are set to stand at the next elections

Three never before elected Greek-Australians are set to stand at the next federal and state elections.
Frankston administrator, Helen Constas (foto), who won ALP pre-selection for the Federal seat of Dunkley last month will contest Liberal MP Bruce Billson, who leads by a 4.3 percent margin.
National Union of Workers (NUW) State Secretary, Antony Thow will contest Steve Fielding (should the elections be held at the scheduled date), after winning the ALP preselection for the number three spot in the Victorian senate. Long time electorate officer, Lee Tarlamis, will sit third on the ALP ticket for the upper house seat of South Eastern Metropolitan Region. Helen Constas, who challenged Bruce Billson at the 2004 federal election, says that politics is in her blood. Her father, a Greek immigrant who was involved in the Labor party for a long time, encouraged his daughters to take an interest in politics from a young age.
