Sid Sidebottom
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Peter Sid Sidebottom (born 23 April 1951), Australian politician, was an Australian Labor Party member of the Australian House of Representatives between 1998 and 2004, representing the Division of Braddon, Tasmania. He was born in Hobart, Tasmania, and was a senior secondary college teacher before entering politics. He was an electorate officer for Senator Nick Sherry 1998. He was a member of the Central Coast Council 1996-98.
He was defeated by the Liberal candidate, Mark Baker, at the 2004 election. Many put this down to concern about loss of forestry jobs under Labor's environment policy, which had the potential to adversely effect Sidebottom's electorate.
Sidebottom will again be the Labor candidate for Braddon in the 2007 federal election. [1]
