the campaign trail

It’s the pointy end of election time and I’ve had a great time getting out across the electorate of Eastern Victoria.

Last week, Neil Rankine, our candidate for Bass and myself spoke to residents at a forum put on by the Cardinia Residents and Ratepayers association.

Last Friday I joined our candidate for Narracan, Belinda Rogers, for the ballot draw in Drouin. Belinda got the luck of the draw getting number one position on the ballot paper.

On Saturday I went to the launch of our candidate for Gippsland South, Kate Jackson in Mirboo North. It’s terrific to talk to locals about the issues that affect them.

Sunday was the Great Green Groove-a-thon fundraiser for the Monbulk campaign for our candidate, Jo Tenner. All the artists donated their time towards the Greens, with Adalita headlining the gig.

Monday I was back in Drouin, to do some grass roots campaigning with Belinda Rogers, our candidate for Narracan. We received a great response with a vast array of issues concerning locals.

Today I travelled to Churchill to launch the campaign of Dan Jordan, our candidate for Morwell. It was terrific to have the support of locals and be able to join with Dan to announce the redirection of public monies from HRL to renewables.

It’s a great electorate, I’ve travelled to many corners of it already and will continue to do so right up to election day.
