Alexandra Kaur Bhathal[1] (born 1964 or 1965)[2] is a social worker, lecturer and former Australianpolitician. She is most known as a perennial candidate for the Australian Greens in the Division of Batman, having stood on six occasions; 2001, 2004, 2010, 2013, 2016, and at the 2018 Batman by-election.[3] Bhathal was also the candidate for the state Electoral district of Northcote in 2006.[4]
Early life
Bhathal's father was a Punjabi Sikh from a village near Verka Town, India.[1]
2018 by-election
Bhathal's campaign was damaged when a 101-page document containing claims of bullying by Bhathal was leaked.[5][6] After the by-election, an internal Greens review dismissed the allegations against Bhathal, and apologised to her.[5]
After politics
Bhathal was planned to be the candidate for the Division of Cooper[a] at the 2019 Australian federal election, but withdrew in August 2018, stating that her previous campaign had been "sabotaged" by individuals within the party.[7]
In February 2019, Bhathal resigned from the Australian Greens, stating she had been the victim of "relentless organisational bullying" over several years.[8]
A documentary was made about Bhathal's unsuccessful campaign in 2018, entitled The Candidate.[9] The screening of the film in July 2019 was sabotaged, with the fire alarm being set off as soon as the film started.[10]
Bhathal is a lecturer at La Trobe University in Melbourne, Australia.[11][12]
