Meninga candidacy
The 2001 campaign is perhaps best remembered for the short-lived candidacy of rugby league veteran Mal Meninga. Moments after announcing that he would run for the Legislative Assembly on ABC Radio, Meninga pulled out mid-sentence: "And the thing about that is, I guess, I was a public figure and I was put on the podium where I was just a person out there . . . I'm buggered, I'm sorry, I have to resign."
