September - Justin King, Gail O'Brien and David Blore

28/9/2024

 
During September we had the privilege of spending time with three people standing for Council, Justin King, Gail O’Brien and David Blore.   

This was definitely a worthwhile experience, as the candidates were able to speak at length about their ideas, experience and intentions.  We touched on the big picture as well as digging down to the more mundane matters councils are concerned with.

​The sessions were enjoyed by the Politics group, and we hope the Candidates enjoyed them also.

We are looking for new recruits to our Politics class.  If you are interested, it is ‘Taster Month’ in October, so why not come along to one or both of our October sessions – Tuesday 8th and Tuesday 22nd October, 10am to 12 noon in Classroom 1.

Coming up on 10 September - Councillor Justin King

6/9/2024

 
The group has been spending time considering Local Government and the role of the Benalla Rural City Council over recent months, so we are fortunate that Councillor Justin 
King has agreed to be the Guest Speaker at Politics on Tuesday 10 September at 10am. Cr King is standing for re-election at the Benalla Rural City Council elections in October 2024.

​All welcome!
