Liberal candidate for the seat of Nicholls, Stephen Brooks, is an orchardist and irrigator as well as a teacher.

He is likely to be using his rural credentials in his campaign to win back the seat taken by National Party member Damian Drum, at the next federal election.

One of his campaign advisers is the most recent Liberal member to hold the seat, Sharman Stone, who has a strong interest in water policy.

Mr Brooks sat down for a conversation about water with Country News writer Geoff Adams on the same day he was named as the Liberal candidate.

Stephen Brooks believes he has an understanding of water issues and wants to put that into practice if he is elected.
