Introduction of the candidates (2minutes each)
Q&A (90 minutes)
Candidate closing statements (2 minutes each)
All conduct is to be respectful of the candidates and other members of the community. Differences of opinion are fine (and to be expected), rudeness or aggression are not.
We encourage members of the community to submit questions for the candidates in writing prior to the Forum. We will pass these on to the candidates to allow them the opportunity to do any research necessary to provide a thorough answer. Questions should be emailed to secretary@bundeenaprogress.org.au.
Questions received in writing will be asked first, followed by questions from the floor.
Those who haven’t asked a question will have priority over those wanting to ask a second question.
Questions are to take no more than 30 seconds to ask.
Each question should focus on a single topic or issue (no double-barrelled or multi-part questions please!).
Each candidate will have 2 minutes to respond to each question.
