The identity of the other two candidates was unclear in the announcement.
The candidates said that one Rick is called, and the other Francis, who, according to Mr. Tucker, has a “double” last name.
They said their names would be on a press release later, but they were not on the press release.
A party spokesperson later confirmed as accountant Rick Mandelson and retired lawyer Francis Haddon-Cave, who seems to have practiced in Hong Kong.
Both are candidates for Lyons.
Nationals that are re -negotiated about the AFL deal
Mr. Tucker’s decision to leave the liberal party was partly due to his opposition against the proposed Macquarie Point Stadium.
He said that the policy of the Tasmanian nationals must “bank” the stadium.
“Look further at the AFL deal, re -negotiate. That is where we see that we are sitting,”
Mr Tucker said.
“We see that [Launceston’s] York Park is therefore a possible solution.
“Negotiating men about the deal with the people and coming back with a solution.”
He said that the party would later release other policy in the campaign.
