IT worker contests Canning for Pirates
AAP
A software development manager is running for the Pirate Party in the Canning by-election.
Michelle Allen contested the re-run Senate election in Western Australia last year, securing just 0.01 per cent of first preference votes, but contributing to one of the best results in the party's history.
The party says Ms Allen has lived around the Canning electorate for most of her life, has more than a decade of experience in information technology and is an advocate for equality, human rights and copyright reform.
