McKiterick preselected for Bellarine

VETERAN police officer Brian McKiterick is set to take on State Police Minister Lisa Neville at November’s State Election. The Surf Coast councillor was recently endorsed as the Liberal candidate to compete for the seat of Bellarine, which has been retained by Ms Neville since 2002. The preselection comes after local media last year reported previous Borough of Queenscliffe Mayor Tony Francis, also a police officer, would take up the fight. In 2014, Ms Neville retained her position as Bellarine MP against Liberal candidate Ron Nelson after the State Election.
