I wanted to attend this meeting, but could find no information anywhere about what time it was held. Westender advertised the date and venue, but did not mention the time. The venue’s website had no information about the meeting. I searched the websites of the Greens and ALP, both of whose representatives were attending, but again absolutely no information at all about the meeting. In fact, in those two websites, there was no information of any kind on where one might meet the candidates. They were very well hidden.
Is this deliberate – was the idea to stack the meeting with the chosen few? Or just incompetence all round?
