A lot of things have entered my mind whilst we have a General Election for the N.S.W. electors in early next year. So what we must do in Mount Druitt is hold a transport Forum at a convenient place for Mount Druitt commuters to reach and plenty of warning provided if this suits all candidates for Londonderry all candidates and Mount Druitt candidates all of them.
It would be conducted on the basis that all questions will be asked are genuine ones, chosen from the public. They will be true to the fact, relevant to current transport associated within Mount Druitt. A copy of each parties transport policy supplied be fore the meeting. The public must be acting in a very nice way, courteous and allow the chair to run the meeting without any disturbance, and everyone acts most importantly be positive. This gives a great chance for the community to see who's running for election and then decide who they will then decide for after that - especially if they are swing voters.
At the end of the forum it would have to be a learning forum for all. We, as a group will not be judge, adjudicator or magistrate, yet we will judge the reaction of community members who attend to see if they were happy with our process, schedule and results of the forum. In Mount Druitt community members only want what they see is attractive without the political spiel.
In fairness to the local politicians, they do not have many podiums to stand on wirthin the community to debate, provided or inform of the transport issues and policies they see is important within Mount Druitt. They go from club to club or door to door, shake hands with potential voters, provide the widest smile to get the widest support. And then there are the smaller candidates that don't have the party machine dollars and staffing to do what the major political parties do - so this would be a n event for a lot to remember and a chance to met people that want your vote.
All media will be invited, so that they can report the true events - with petrol costs going up - this could be a good time to promote efficient and reliable public transport as a most cost effective way for commuting around ( as long as we have the public transport there to support it).
