Hinch runs candidate in Batman by-election

Victorian senator Derryn Hinch has announced his party will run a candidate in the Batman by-election.

Derryn Hinch's Justice Party will run a candidate in the by-election for the federal seat of Batman in Melbourne.

Former independent councillor and Maribyrnong City mayor Catherine Cumming will enter a hotly-contested race between Greens candidate Alex Bhathal and Labor's Ged Kearney.

"The pundits will say the Greens are going to win it - I'm not so sure," Senator Hinch told reporters in Canberra on Wednesday.
