Animal Justice Party wins seat in NSW Upper House

17 Apr 2015,

The Animal Justice Party has claimed the final seat in the race for the New South Wales Upper House.

Their candidate Mark Pearson edged out the other minor party in the running, the No Land Tax Party.

The MLC-elect is a former psychiatric nurse who has campaigned against sheep mulesing and kangaroo meat exports.

Animal Justice Party National President and founder Professor Steve Garlick said they got the win on a shoestring budget.

"We ran on a total budget of $12,000, and a lot of passion," he said.

Professor Garlick said at one fundraiser the candidate Mr Pearson put his operatic skills to good use and sang to raise money.

The result does not affect the balance of power in the Upper House.

That lies with the Christian Democrats, who today claimed a second seat in the legislative council.
