Small chance of a big upset in Bennelong
Andrew Wilkie, the former intelligence officer who resigned from the Office of National Assessments (ONA) last year, says he gives himself a small chance of creating a big upset on election day.
Mr Wilkie resigned from his position in March last year and is now contesting John Howard's seat of Bennelong as a Greens candidate.
He told a meeting that although he is known for his resignation over the Government's stance on the Iraq war, he is involved in bigger issues.
'I'm linked very much to the Iraq war, that was how I came to public attention when I resigned over the war about 18 months ago,' he said.
'But in some ways the Iraq war is now a symptom of much broader issues that I'm campaigning on, issues such as the Howard Government's dishonesty [and] the Howard Government's accountability.'
