Candidates state their case

THE Victorian State Election is only days away, with residents heading to the polls this Saturday to cast their vote.
In the lead-up to the election, the Mail contacted each of the candidates for the Monbulk electorate with questions about key policy areas, which may shape people’s votes.
The questions put to the Monbulk candidates were:
1. What are your policies in regards to education?
2. Healthcare – including mental health?
3. Crime prevention and policing?
4. Domestic violence?
5. Ice and drugs?
6. The environment and climate change?
7. Roads?
8. Public transport?
9. Other?
10. What do you think is the biggest election issue in the Monbulk electorate?
11. If elected, what goal would you like to achieve in your tenure?
12. In four sentences or less, why should people vote for you on 29 November?
The candidates’ full answers to all questions will be posted online at mail.starcommunity.com.au.
