5 of 8 candidates attend Wills 3rd meet the candidate forum hosted by Brunswick Uniting Church<\/p><\/div>\n

The 3rd and final meet the candidates forum for Wills was hosted by the Brunswick Uniting Church on Friday night. Five candidates attended to present their policies and to take questions from a moderator and from the audience. But it was the very last response to the very last audience question that struck a responsive chord from all present. The question was “What can we look forward to under a Tony Abbott Government for Wills?”<\/p>\n

Candidates on the panel included Adrian Trajstman<\/a> (Sex Party), Tim Read<\/a> (Greens), Kelvin Thomson MP<\/a> (ALP), Margarita Windisch<\/a> (Socialist Alliance). Philip Sutton<\/a> (Save the Planet party) was a late attendee, who is standing in Batman, but represented Dean O’Callaghan<\/a> who could not attend the evening.<\/p>\n

An observation I made at the start of the forum:<\/p>\n

\n

Looks like #LNP<\/a> Shilpa Hegde anothet no show in #Wills2013<\/a>\u00a03rd forum. Why would you vote Liberal when she doesn't meet the people?<\/p>\n
