Great advice from #Mackellar local & former White House senior staffer) @hoggard_kim on Q+A:
'Democracies around the world are fragile (and) require the participation of its citizens, the attention of its citizens and citizens to demand accountability.'

Looks like a few more weeks till we learn of possible changes to the electorate boundaries for #mackellar.
We can now advise that the proposal for WA will be released on Friday 31 May.
Proposals for NSW & VIC will be released in early June, but we don't have an exact date just yet. We’ll post here when we do, and then when each proposal is released.
