*Peter Black was not on the most recent Council but he was previously mayor for a record 19 years from 1980 to 1999, before he went on to serve two terms as the State Government Labor MP for the seat of Murray Darling from 1999-2007. Although he has obvious ties to the Labor Party, he was not a Labor Party candidate in this election.
