Greg Rowell
Gregory John Rowell is an Australian cricket player, who has played for the Queensland Bulls, New South Wales Blues, and Tasmanian Tigers. He was a right-handed batsman and useful right arm fast bowler.
On 11 May 2007, Rowell announced his intention to stand as the Labor candidate for Lord Mayor in the 2008 Brisbane City Council election. He secured 29% of the primary vote and lost to incumbent Campbell Newman.
Since then, Rowell has campaigned strongly on the issues of securing water for Brisbane's future and the need to provide better public transport. Brisbane is currently experiencing Level Six water restrictions, and users of its bus system experience chronic overcrowding.
