Meet The Candidate Forum Makes Choice More Difficult


REMINDER : BALLOT DUE by 16 JUNE


NSW Greens are preparing for the next federal election, which could come as early as 2010 should K Rudd call a double dissolution.
Candidates have nominated, and now begins the task of getting around the state to meet members.
Shoalhaven was the second port of call for the candidates who commenced their rounds in Yass on Saturday.
Candidates were allowed a 7 minute prepared speech, and then expected to talk to questions prepared by the Shoalhaven group.
An informative question and answer session saw a volley of question on all manner of issues thrown at our lively foursome.
Cate, Adam, Lee and Keith all gave fantastic answers on the big issues of Financial Crisis, Population, Climate Change and Preferences.
One participant at the Forum commented-'It would be great if we could have all of them!'
For me it was an excellent opportunity to see them all in action and help make that critical decision before June16.
If you missed out on this excellent event, you can capture some of the action by calling the returning officer to receive an audio recording of the candidates. ( Give your member number from your ballot mailout) Or call the candidates direct and talk to them all- they are all interesting and passionate people ( again see your ballot mailout for contacts)
The July 11/12th State Delegates Conference hosted here in Shoalhaven should be the time when NSW Greens ratify our candidates for the next federal election- exciting times!
