Meet the candidates in Gosford

The Gosford Uniting Church will be holding a "Meet the Candidates" community on Monday, October 29, at 7.30pm.

Candidates from the three major parties, Liberal, Labor and Greens, have been invited to the forum to be held at the Gosford Uniting Church, 129 Donnison St, Gosford.

The candidates will be from both the Dobell and Robertson electorate.

"The political parties are busy promoting issues which they think are important for us to know about for the federal election on November 24," Church administrative assistant Ms Pamela Munt said.

"However they are our representatives. We are not theirs.

"We have a right and responsibility to know how our candidates will represent us in the Parliament if they are elected."

The Gosford Uniting Church has invited candidates from the major parties in the electorates of Dobell and Robertson to share with the community the values which motivate them.

"This is an opportunity for you to go behind the issues and the rhetoric and explore the basis on which your representative will make decisions about how they vote and how they influence their own party's policy and practice.

"This is a rare opportunity for us to let the people who want to represent us know what we think is important.

"There is no charge for the forum and a simple supper will be served."
