Question the new candidates!

On Monday November 10th, 2008 there will be a ‘Candidates Question and Answer Session’ at:

The Elsternwick Club
19 Sandham St.
Elsterwick

Time: 8pm.


The reason for this is simple. How many of us can actually put a face to a new candidate? How many of us actually know what each candidate stands for? What his/her vision is and what they hope to achieve in their four year term if elected.

This is the opportunity to ask these new candidates all your questions and to get a direct answer. Speaking directly to residents is not the same as a carefully worded and innocuous flyer that promises the world and delivers nothing. It will also display their ability to communicate, to think on their feet, and to enable us, the ratepayers to at least have a clearer picture of how candidate x measures up against candidate y.

Current councillors ARE NOT INVITED!! We already know what they have achieved, or failed to achieve. They stand on their record. What we need to learn is what this prospective ‘new blood’ has to offer the community so that we can go some way towards making really informed decisions.

So start thinking about the questions you would like answered and put November the 10th into your diary. Also, tell your friends and neighbours about this evening – it is an opportunity that should not be wasted.
