SW: add Bartlett statement
''The Examiner'''s chief political reporter, Peter Wells, reported that McLean "said he would be hoping to provide a stronger voice for timber workers if elected to State Parliament, and would be running a campaign based on 'jobs, jobs, jobs and more jobs'. 'There's no doubt that forestry and wood product workers want as much representation as they can get,' he said."<ref>Peter Wells, [http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:-EozLWRd2N4J:www.examiner.com.au/news/local/news/politics/two-join-the-line-for-labor-preselection/1552273.aspx "Two join the line for Labor preselection"]. ''The Examiner'', June 27, 2009.</ref>
Labor Premier David Bartlett welcomed McLean's bid for pre-selection, issuing a media release stating that "Scott is perhaps best-known for the high-profile role he has played in representing our timber workers and I’m sure his decision to nominate for pre-selection will be well-received among those for whom he has advocated so strongly ... He is a quality candidate who has a lot to offer and I believe many people in the community will identify with Scott’s blue-collar values and commitment to representing people at the ‘coal face’."<ref>David Bartlett, [http://www.media.tas.gov.au/release.php?id=27173 "Potential Bass Candidates Welcomed"], Media Release, June 27, 2009.</ref>
