Grand Opening for the New Crossways & a Candidates Meeting 2008

MVRA together with Mt Cook Mobilized and the New Crossways Trust hosted the candidates for Wellington Central at New Crossways, 6 Roxburgh St, Mt Victoria.

Thursday 16 October, 7.30pm

The Mt Victoria and Mt Cook communities ran a hugely entertaining Meet The Candidates meeting at new Crossways community centre. Ten candidates for the Wellington Central electorate informed and entertained a full house, punctuated with sloganeering, backchat and interjections, as well as considered policy and in-depth discussion of the issues facing New Zealand.

As the first public meeting for the new Crossways it was a great way to welcome the neighbourhood to our new community facility. It was also a great way to meet a number of great people from Mt Cook Mobilised, who joined us to grill the candidates on local and national issues.

The Candidates that attended were;

Heather Roy - ACT
Richard Wallis - Alliance
Sue Kedgley - Greens
Grant Robertson - Labour
Stephen Franks - National
Vaughan Smith - United Future
Don Franks - Workers Party
Grant Brookes - RAM
Rebekah Clement - Kiwi Party

An apology was received from the Libertarianz candidate Barnard Darnton.
