I see “healthy debates” are welcome. So here goes. In advance of last Sundays advertised “Meet the candidates” debate at the Ohope Charter Club venue but run by the Ohope Lions Club I emailed, well in advance and after speaking to the Manager as well, a simple attachment with a simple question included that was to be directed at each of the assembled candidates This basic process was not completed by someone or someones. Either it is the Ohope Charter Club or the Ohope Lions Club?? Either way and put simply the normal democratic process of Meet the candidates that normally contain open and free Question and Answer sessions was interfered with, ignored perhaps. So to Candidate Hamill We have met. Tell us what you think happened as you know people who can help you so we can see your levels of commitment to the Community at a time you are seeking our support at the Polls
