Prior to the 2002 state election, Rau contested Labor preselection for the safe seat of Enfield.

The seat had previously been Ross Smith, held by Ralph Clarke, who had recently been deposed as the party's deputy leader.

However, the party's state executive stepped in and installed Rau as the pre-selected candidate.
