The debate will be held on Monday, 5th December in the Waikato Rooms 1-2 at SkyCity Hamilton, 346 Victoria Street, Hamilton, 3204.
The event will begin at 7 p.m. with the results of an exclusive Taxpayers’ Union | The Working Group – Curia poll of Hamilton West residents on how they intend to vote and what issues matter most to them.
This will be followed by the debate itself at 7.30 p.m., which will be hosted by The Working Group’s Martyn ‘Bomber’ Bradbury and Damien Grant. The following candidates have been invited and have confirmed their attendance:
- DANSEY, Georgie (Labour)
- McDOWALL, James (ACT)
- POCOCK, Naomi (TOP)
- POTAKA, Tama (National)
- SHARMA, Gaurav (Momentum)
The debate will also be streamed live online on The Daily Blog (www.thedailyblog.co.nz) and Taxpayers’ Union website (www.taxpayers.org.nz) as well as being available to watch back after the event.
Excellent work team. Stream live on YouTube as well please. Democracy in action.
Wonderful. Excellent stuff
Get a bed in for Sharma. He’s a bloody liar.
Absolutely!
Do you think the city centre venue choice on the very outside border of Hamilton West, in the CBD is prohibitive to representation of diverse voters eg. transport , parking and parking fees , family arrangements to attend ?
Haven’t seen or heard from a survey pollster nor a candidate in the heart of Hamilton West in decades ? We’re not the suburbs of the million dollar plus club , rich listers of the surrounding lake, river, Grandview Heights, Rototuna North .We’re the ones falsely stereotyped, ostracized and bagged with class bias phrases, crime ridden and truants but not sure how the interloper candidate from Auckland purports to know us.
O!Toole,easy as, aff yer chuff and vote,have yer say.
15 times so far and one extra waste of money by election. Funny thing is same old spin regurgitated everytime !
