Greg Combet had been Secretary of the Australian Council of Trade Unions (ACTU).
He was Minister for Climate Change and Energy Efficiency in the Gillard Government.
In the 2013 election, the Liberal Party candidate, Kevin Baker, resigned after being involved with an offensive website.
This happened after nominations closed, so the Liberal Party could not select a new candidate and Baker's name was still on the ballot papers.
