Mr Steven John CHAYTOR, MP

Another one bites the dust, as Steven Chaytor is found guilty of wife-bashing.

Chaytor was convicted in Campbelltown Local Court today of assaulting his former girlfriend and placed on an 18-month good behaviour bond.

The member for Macquarie Fields remained impassive as Magistrate Robert Rabbidge convicted him.

In contrast, his accuser and former girlfriend, Fee Fen Njoo, appeared to shake and was comforted by a friend when the verdict was handed down.

Outside court, Ms Njoo said justice had been done, before urging other victims of domestic violence to come forward.

Name: Mr Steven Chaytor, MP
Party: ALP
Electorate: Macquarie Fields
Margin: 10%

Following his disendorsement in approimately 2 hours time, Chaytor will have lasted only 16 months after replacing former planning minister Craig Knowles. Chaytor suffered a 13% swing against him at that by-election, and another 10% swing is needed to give the seat to the big Ls.

Will it happen? I doubt it. South-west Sydney is pretty safe Labor heartland, and I think we’ll need to look further abroad before we start stumbling across any closely-contested seats. On the plus side, Labor are free to fly in another candidate for a free ride into parliament. May I suggest this time that Tommy Raudonikis be drafted in. It’s about time we got a sports minister who has actually touched a football at some time in their life, and beside, Tommy would lend immense charisma to a starved parliament. Tommy also has experience in the region, having played for the Magpies for ten years. He’s also quit smoking, and only drinks light beer, presumably in preperation for his tilt at politics. Sandra out, Tommy in.
