The Australian Labor Party has selected Gippsland local Tully Fletcher as the federal Labor candidate for Monash.

The announcement makes Mr Fletcher the fourth candidate to confirm their intention to contest the seat, although a date has yet to be set for the election.

He joins sitting member (and current cross-bencher) Russell Broadbent who earlier this month announced he would run as an independent, Liberal candidate Mary Aldred and independent Deb Leonard.

Fletcher says this election voters are being offered a clear choice of "Peter Dutton-led Liberals who haven't delivered for Gippsland in two decades, or a fresh local Labor candidate raised in Gippsland, ready to tackle the cost of living, and fight for our fair share".

"All the Liberals are offering Monash are cuts and a nuclear power station we didn't ask for," he said.

Background

Tully Fletcher is a third generation Gippslander and lives in Kilcunda with his partner Dani and their children Daph and Ted, just down the road from where he grew up.

He was educated at public schools in Wonthaggi, Dalyston and Leongatha, and spends summers at Wilsons Prom with family and friends.

He describes himself as working "in business and government as an adviser to ministers, CEOs and communities to deliver real change and improve the lives of all Australians".

"I led work with business and unions to create Australia's first ever wage-theft laws to make sure all workers are paid right and paid on time," Tully said.

"I know families, farms and businesses in Monash are under pressure and need a better deal. I'll fight hard to deliver the services, infrastructure, mobile coverage, and internet speeds we deserve."

As a keen motorbike rider, he said he knows how bad the local roads can be and "will make road safety upgrades a top priority".

"As part of your Federal Labor team, I will work to bring down the cost of living, protect jobs and wages, and ensure everyone in Gippsland can afford and access housing, health, education and care," Tully said.

"I believe Gippsland voters in Monash deserve a federal MP who calls it like it is, shares our values, works as hard as we do, and gets things done."
