We will be asking the candidates a series of questions on local federal-related issues and printing their replies in coming editions. Send your questions to brownie@gcnews.com.au. We will put all questions in a hat and pull out the ones to be put to the candidates. We also encourage robust but respectful contributions to the You Said It letters page, which must adhere to our editorial guidelines and space restrictions. Limits will be placed on letters supporting – or otherwise – candidates so that equity and civility can be maintained. We have also created a special The Fight for Fisher webpage where you can keep up to date with everything about the election and the local candidates. You’ll find it at http://gcnews.com.au/ content/2232/fightforfisher2019.aspx. It really is your one-stop election portal. As always, candidates can also buy advertising space. We thank candidates who choose to support the newspaper by buying advertising space as this helps us to provide editorial pages for election content, as well as the regular pages for school news, community groups, sports results, local news and events.
