INDEPENDENT candidate for Nicholls Andrew Bock has organised several ‘meet the candidates’ events across the electorate.
The events will give voters the chance to hear from candidates ahead of the federal election.
One event will be held in Rochester at the Shamrock Hotel today at 6.30pm, with more to be announced in coming weeks.
All currently declared candidates have been invited, with fellow Independent Nigel Hicks, Labor candidate Bill Lodwick, Nickee Freeman from the Greens and Mr Bock himself confirmed as attending.
United Australia Party candidate Stewart Hine may not be able to make it due to his wife having surgery.
Member for Murray/Nicholls Damian Drum said electorate commitments would prevent him from attending the event.
“I look forward to participating in community-organised forums in the future,” Mr Drum said.
