Politics in the Pub (at the Powerhouse)
Anybody who’s in Brisbane, and particularly anyone who’s eligible to vote in the Central ward, should get down to the Powerhouse next Tuesday the 11th for Politics in the Pub. It kicks off at 7PM and goes through until 9, and this time it’s bringing together the people who are asking to represent the local area on the Brisbane City Council. The incumbent is Cr. David Hinchcliffe, but Anne Boccabella for the Greens and Independent David White will also be in attendance. All this ties in nicely with the “hyperlocal” aspect of our citizen journalism project, Queensland Decides, so we’ll try to cover it on the site.
As always, it’s organised by the New Farm Neighbourhood Centre, who do a fantastic job, month after month, of bringing people, politicians and issue spokespeople together.
It will also be compered by yours truly - and as compere I always take the “pub” bit just as seriously as the “politics”.
I’ve done it before but since my last slot before the Federal Election, I’ve actually moved to New Farm: now it’s my neighbourhood too!

Welcome to the neighbourhood!
