Former Liberal MP David Honey considering political return in local government as Town of Cottesloe mayor

Former Liberal MP and one-time leader David Honey is mulling a run for Cottesloe mayor this October, according to reports.

Dr Honey’s eight-year parliamentary career ended in March after he had lost a party pre-selection battle to Sandra Brewer, who went on to retain the seat of Cottesloe for the Liberal Party.

For the previous four years, Dr Honey had been the party’s sole metropolitan representative and for some time, its parliamentary leader until he relinquished that responsibility to Vasse MP Libby Mettam.

“A number of people have asked me or suggested that I should consider running for the mayor’s position,” Dr Honey is reported as saying in the Post newspaper.

“I’m considering that.

“Before I would actually commit myself, I need to talk to a whole range of people in the community just to see whether there is support.”

Cottesloe mayor Lorraine Young, who has spent eight years as an elected representative including the past four as mayor, reportedly has not made up her mind on whether she wants to continue.

Deputy mayor Melissa Harkins, told the Post if that were the case she would be keen to step up.
