ROSE TATTOO Frontman Going Into Politics

October 1, 2011

According to DailyTelegraph.com.au, ROSE TATTOO frontman Angry Anderson has joined The Nationals (National Party of Australia) with the intention of running for a seat at the next federal election.

The National Party of Australia, formerly the Country Party, is a conservative party representing rural interests.

"If between the party and I, we can agree, I feel I can best serve the Australian people on the national stage," the 63-year-old rock singer told The Sunday Telegraph.

The singer said being drawn into politics was a natural extension of his community service work.

"You can reach a stage like I have where you've done as much as you can in your profession in my case music and a political career becomes an extension of the community work I'm doing," he said.

Anderson said he was not committed to running for a specific seat and wasn't afraid to tackle a safe Labor seat.

"I'll have those discussions with the party," he said. "If they think I'm the best qualified person to run for a seat, any seat, I'll run. If not, I'm a team player: you have to be in a band. I'll be a foot soldier instead."
