LONG-serving Independent MP Bob Such will contest his seventh election next year, after confirming he will run again in the seat of Fisher at the March poll. The 69-year-old said he had been given a clean bill of health from his GP and had the approval of his wife of 17 years, Lyn. I can't see myself on a banana lounge or a rocking chair just yet. A former Liberal Minister, Dr Such quit the party after being demoted by then-Premier John Olsen. He has held his southern suburban seat of Fisher since 1989 and lived in the area all his life. At the election next March he will face Liberal party candidate Sam Duluk, who has an accounting and finance background. The Labor Party has not yet chosen a candidate for Fisher. Dr Such said he expected the 2014 election to be close and if, as an independent, he was in a position to decide which party to support to form government he would consider voters' second preferences. "If it comes down to the wire, I'll ask my electors which government they want," he said. The campaign is underway now. People shouldn't kid themselves. Many candidates are out there letterboxing. Dr Such said he brought "experience and ability" to the House of Assembly. He is one of Parliament's most active members, regularly presenting petitions and lodging new legislation. He has campaigned on issues including education, road safety, consumer rights and animal cruelty and in future wants to tackle tax reform, specifically payroll tax and the GST, and employment opportunities for young South Australians. "Too many of our smart young people are leaving the state," he said. After almost 24 years in Parliament, Dr Such says he accepts there is "no real privacy" in the public eye. "In politics your family pay a high price because you don't see them as much as you would like," he said.
