Mallee Electorate Candidates Forum

Published on 25 February 2022

Hindmarsh Shire Council is extending an invitation to all candidates standing for the forthcoming federal election in the Mallee Electorate to participate in an open forum.

The forum to be held on Monday 4 April 2022 at the Nhill Memorial Community Centre from 6:00pm, will provide all candidates with an opportunity to individually address the audience and then participate in an open question and answer session from the floor.

A similar forum was held in the lead up to the 2019 federal election which was well received by both candidates and attendees.

Not only will the forum enable all candidates to individually address the audience and present them with details of their election campaign, but it will enable Wimmera Southern Mallee constituents within the Mallee Electorate to get to know their candidates and to ask questions relating to issues and topics that they are passionate about.

Council has already received a number of requests from candidates requesting an opportunity to address Council to introduce themselves and to present their campaign platform.

Cr Melanie Albrecht, Mayor said “I would encourage community members to attend and hear about the election commitments of each of the candidates. It is a great opportunity to advocate for the needs of Hindmarsh”.

Details of the candidates who will be participating in the forum will be published when nominations are finalised.

In line with COVID-19 protocols, anyone attending this forum must be double vaccinated.
