WTF - A Confused Sunbury Polity, a Jackless Macedon District Election

The Sunbury Collective Polity was about to file a missing person's report for Jack, suspected to have been last seen racing down the Calder searching for the mythical Melton Hospital with an emergency department and not much seen since except wearing a balaclava and at erstwhile law and order forums, or a formal announcement outside Hulls office which does not appear to have been covered. People are just not certain it is the same person.


Sunbury is allegedly missing Jack "Steve" Medcraft or is it Steve "Jack" Medcraft (are they the same people?), from the Battle Royal for the hotly contested Macedon District in this years state election. Although missing may not be apt as missing implies a certain amount of sentimentality, not that we actually miss him from the election campaign, miss him as in wondering WTF is the man thinking?


Aside from attending the poorly attended the Sunbury Residents Association's law and order forum (Bernie O'farrell commenting at the start that he was surprised that there were so few people for a topic as important as law and order - well important to Bernie but not to the majority of the community, and to be fair to Bernie he would not have been able to see some of the attendees nodding off to sleep). Sorry I digress. Jack has been missing locally from the papers and the Macedon campaign with the usual shenanigans and online verballing etc. Lets not forget the deceptive hoot of Che Evans and Sunbury out of Hume blog or the previous election form of the personage.

Not to fear though the mystery has been solved. Steve Medcraft (erstwhile known as JAKAS), is running as a candidate for the Victorian lower house in the Niddrie District as an independent sorry independant against Attorney-General Rob Hulls. For the educated Hulls has overseen a proactive reeform agenda for some time but not according to Mr Medcraft he is running against Rob Hulls to knock him off his perch as in Steve's words he is not doing a good enough job by not releasing addresses of criminals suppressed by the courts amongst other things, (not sure people really understand the importance to a democratic state of the courts being independent to the Government for very good friggin' reasons). It would appear though he has been caught out and not receiving the favoured treatment at Mooney Valley Leader that he is probably used to at Sunbury. Also has been seen to be stirring up the locals here and here. To be fair though Steve Medcraft has denied lying on the candidate profile, but it is just well a little mind boggling and a very important technicality.

I can imagine why many a Sunburyite is both confused and looking on with some consternation. As seen in the candidate profiles published by the Mooney Valley Leader (see picture above), we note the response to the question "Do you live in the electorate?" Ans: "I've lived in Airport West for more than 30 Years" mmm interesting not "NO" with a reasonable qualifier... May well be true that Steve Medcraft did live in Airport West for 30 years or thereabouts although the former councillor Jack Medcraft has resided in Sunbury for the past 25 years - apparently.

Wierd or what man? AM I stuck in a time continuum trap thingy? Is Jack Medcraft the doppleganger of Steve ? or is Jack a clone of Steve. This is X-files material - where did I put Mulder and Scully's phone number? Although we are fairly certain it is the same person.
This situation does provide an excellent opportunity to prevent future confusion around local elections - now we no longer need be confused between Steve Medcraft and Jack Medcraft (or JAKAS). Steve Medcraft lived in Airport West for more than 30 years and is the Person against lenient sentencing (he is the one that has been on TV don't worry he will tell you). Jack Medcraft is the former Hume City Councillor residing in Sunbury for the past 25 years. I'm not going to tell you where he lives, works, where he was seen, provide fake compromising photos or anything like that, one I don't really care, more importantly that would be extremely unprofessional, lacks integrity and just plain creepy.

Now to be a little cheeky surely this was a marvelous opportunity missed in electing Steve Medcraft to represent Niddrie and Jack Medcraft, to represent Macedon, now before you start protesting it would be a first I am sure for Victoria and ensuring at least two votes in the Victorian lower house. Debates would have been interesting and he would have recieved plently of exercise during a division.

The possibilities are immense.

Just a point of order though why are my taxes being spent on well as one reader put it on the Mooney Valley Leader a serial candidate?
