Friday's launch & upcoming community forums

We had a fantastic night on Friday at our campaign launch party. Thank you so much to everyone who helped organise the event and to all of you who came along! Special thanks to Benny J for hosting us at the Old Canberra Inn and scheduling amazing local musicians Bec Taylor, Monica Moore and Moondog. And to our special guest speakers, Tanya Keed and Senator David Pocock, for their compelling, candid contributions.

It was a packed house with so much positive energy in the room, which got us all feeling absolutely pumped up for the six weeks remaining before polling day!
