THE Shooters Fishers and Farmers Party has the seat of Cootamundra in its cross hairs. The party is ready to fight for the seat left vacant by the retirement this week of Nationals MP Katrina Hodgkinson. Ms Hodgkinson had held Cootamundra on a margin of 20.4 per cent following the 2015 election. The Shooters Fishers and Farmers’ MLC Robert Borsak said his party would mount a serious challenge as they did in the Orange by-election last year. He said the Nationals were out of touch with rural constituents. “The Nats feel they are entitled to just turn up and get regional seats but they haven’t worked for rural constituents for years.”
