A STRIPPER is adding some much needed glamour to the Aussie elections — by trying to get the Sex Party into the country's senate.

Dancer Zahra Stardust — real name Marianne Leishman — was Australian Pole Dancing Open Pairs Champion, 2009.

The 27-year-old's campaign kicks off next week but she has already been out and about trying to generate support.

And by the looks of these pictures — she's not going to have to try very hard.

The human rights specialist, who hopes to represent New South Wales, said: "So far, I've been handing out condoms along with instructions about how to vote.

"I've also been doing some dancing on street poles to show people what I can do."

Marianne has also been a life model for artists, a trapeze artist, fire twirler and a burlesque performer.

And the brainy beauty has been a paralegal at a top Sydney law firm for the past two years.

The Australian Sex Party wants to address the "sexual needs of Australia in the 21st Century".

Its policies include improving sex education in schools and legalising gay marriage.

The election takes place on August 21.
