Former Liberal Party president John Elliott considered getting back into politics multiple times in the last decade. In 2014 he talked about running in the state seat of Hawthorn. #springst #auspol

He was a funny guy was John Elliott. Nothing wrong with Wantirna. I used to go to primary school there.
