Forum in Nhill

Hindmarsh Shire Council has invited candidates for the upcoming Federal Election to attend a forum at Nhill Memorial Community Centre from 6pm on April 4.

Candidates will address Wimmera-southern Mallee constituents about the details of their election campaigns.

The forum will also allow residents to ask questions.

The council revealed three of the candidates had requested the forum.

Candidates for Mallee include Anne Webster, Nationals Party; Stuart King, United Australia Party; Chris Lahy, Australia Citizens Party; and independents Sophie Baldwin and Claudia Haenel.

Labor has yet to announce a candidate for Mallee.

Hindmarsh mayor Melanie Albrecht encouraged Hindmarsh residents to attend the event.

She said the forum was a great opportunity to advocate for the needs of Hindmarsh.

“I would encourage individuals to hear about the election commitments of each of the candidates,” she said.
