Presented by TWiSK and chaired by Bernadene Voss, the forum was an opportunity for the public to hear directly from candidates for the St Kilda Ward of Port Phillip.
All six candidates were invited and planned to attend. But on the day Jenni Roper withdrew. She gave us an apology which Bernadene reads in the first minutes of the recording.
The candidates present were Colleen Bolger, Tim Baxter, David Blakeley, Robbie Nyaguy, and Serge Thomann.
The first 30 minutes is devoted to the candidates and their background and issues. From about 32 minutes we hear questions from the audience – there are listed below.
