THE New Norfolk District Football Club will be the venue for a public forum in the final week of the Legislative Council election campaign to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Michael Aird MLC. Five candidates have nominated for the by-election and all have been invited to participate in the public forum.
Ngaire Glover is organising the event as a service to voters of the Derwent electorate and will act as moderator. The forum will be held at 7pm on May 2. Mrs Glover said it will not be an evening of long speeches, but an opportunity for residents of the electorate to put their own questions to candidates seeking election. The election is on May 7 and voting is compulsory.
