May - Pre and Post Election discussions!

30/5/2022

 
The group meeting prior to the Election discussed what could happen if there was a change of Government, how it may affect the general population of Australia and how each party was spreading their message, whether it be spending large amounts of money on advertising, door knocking, social media etc.
 
Our meeting following the election looked at how various seats had changed their political preferences, what effect the Independents and the Greens Party would have on the number of seats counted and if there isn’t a majority by the Labor Party, which was well in front of the Liberal/ National Party at this stage, what their actions could be in the future. 
  
We also re-looked at whether spending large amounts of money on advertising in preference to door knocking and personal contacting of constituents by various parties was effective.    This led to some interesting and stimulating discussion by members of the group.
