Kath Elliot

Kath Elliot was Newcastle Chamber of Commerce President who had a go at running for Council in the Ward Three by-election, vacated by Nuatali Nelmes when she took Jeff McCloy's position as Lord Mayor when McCloy finally resigned in disgrace and due to much public disgust after his ICAC appearances.

She ran as an independent because the Liberal Party was well on the nose at that time, but Novocastrians didn't fall for it and knew they may as well be voting for the Libs - they were just too gutless to admit it. A young 21 year old Declan Clausen won the vacant post, the second youngest Newcastle City Councillor.
