Meet your Federal election candidates – online forum on this evening

Just a reminder, the Hawkesbury Meet the Candidates Forum is on this evening and questions will be put to candidates vying for the Federal seat of Macquarie, currently held by Labor’s Susan Templeman.

As well as the live Zoom event, there will also be a live streaming on You Tube, the link is here and it will go live when the event begins at 7pm.

This is the only community candidate forum open to the general public in the Hawkesbury. Other business or interest groups forums are only available to their members.

Voting day is Saturday May 21 for the House of Representatives and there are 8 candidates in Macquarie – Australia’s most marginal seat, so the result will play a crucial role in deciding which political party holds power after the election.

· Susan Templeman MP (Labor)

· Tony Pettit (One Nation)

· Sarah Richards (Liberal)

· Greg Keightley (Animal Justice Party)

· Nicole Evans (United Australia Party)

· Tony Hickey (The Greens)
