Given the challenges of conducting local council election campaigns in the middle of a pandemic (something I’ve discussed here) we are looking to offer candidates in the NSW local elections the opportunity to participate in video or audio interviews in order to make democracy work.
These interviews will be posted publicly as Creative Commons via YouTube or similar in order to allow members of the community to hear more about candidates and where they stand.
If you’re a candidate in one of the councils in the Eden Monaro area and would like to take advantage of the opportunity, please reach out to us via the contact form here to coordinate.
