An independent candidate says the Nationals don’t deserve to win the Upper Hunter by-election.

Tracy Norman, former Dungog mayor and the daughter of the late Harvey Norman co-founder Ian, told Joe Hildebrand the candidate who wins will have the opportunity to be heard in Parliament.

“The other independent, Kirsty O’Connell, gets my second preference and the Labor party gets my third preferences.

“The Nationals just don’t deserve the seat … they’ve ignored it for years.”
