Warwick Capper to run for mayor
Article from: AAP

July 16, 2007 01:30pm

Former AFL star Warwick Capper has turned his focus to politics, announcing he will run for mayor of the Gold Coast.

Capper, who has recently worked as a Gold Coast "meter man" topping up parking meters on the Queensland tourist strip, says he will run as a mayoral candidate in the March 2008 Gold Coast City election.

He joins a growing list of challengers to current mayor and former Olympian Ron Clarke, which also includes Elvis impersonator Dean Vegas, who unsuccessfully contested the 2004 election.

The former Brisbane Bear and Sydney Swan player said his status as an "icon" gave him a good chance in the poll.

"I've got a huge background over the last 22 years," Capper told the Nine Network.

"If Ron can do it, and an Elvis impersonator, why can't I?

"A lot of people like me and respect me for what I did with the Swans, and a lot of kids like me."

Among the 44-year-old's election policies are the legalisation of prostitution and the introduction of a curfew on the coast's licensed venues.

"I want to legalise prostitution, I think that would be a good thing," Capper said.

"I also want to clean the Gold Coast up.

"I think the clubs should be shut after 1am, it's too late. There's too many drugs and alcohol, we've got to clean up the streets for starters."

The annual Schoolies celebrations also need an overhaul, he said.

"I think they should clean up Schoolies week, it's bad for the Gold Coast," Capper said.

"It's good for revenue, getting kids here, but they need more things to do, like games to get off the alcohol and drugs.

"Get them into a bit of sport."



Capper has also revealed his plans to make a television program, to be screened on his website, which will feature interviews with celebrities from around the world.

Capper has his own domain name for his website, although his christian name is spelt incorrectly.

The address is warrickcapper.com.

Yeah I'd vote for Warwick or Warrick any day over Nicole.
Met him one night at the Grand, very funny man and no different in real life to what he is in the media.
