With the Federal Election on 21 May, locals have another chance to hear what five of the Gilmore candidates envision for the area and ask them questions, in a forum held by the Minnamurra Progress Association.

At the forum, residents will hear from Fiona Phillips (ALP), Andrew Constance (Liberal), Carmel McCallum (Greens), Nina Digiglio (Ind) and Jordan Maloney (UAP).

Each candidate will get two minutes to introduce themselves and then answer a series of pre-prepared questions that have been sent to them prior.

The floor will then open to questions. There will also be a facility where residents can write their questions down for someone else to read out if they don’t feel comfortable.

Pre-poll for eligible voters starts at Joyce Wheatley Community Centre on 9 May. Unlike the State Election, everyone is not eligible to pre-poll and there is no e-voting.

Tues 10 May, Minnamurra School Progress Hall, Charles Ave, 7.15pm. You are encouraged to get there at 7pm.
