The Greens will launch their Melbourne City Council candidates on Tuesday 12 June, including a full slate of councillors and a Lord Mayor/Deputy Mayor team. Greens Councillor David Risstrom will head the councillor ticket. The abolition of wards and the big business big dollars being thrown at the Mayoral race means residents will struggle to be heard in the next term of council. The Greens, with their strong commitment to grassroots democracy, will 'practice what they preach' by running a series of residents' forums throughout their campaign - and beyond (if re-elected). The first of these is planned for North Melbourne and it's this Thursday. * Wednesday 13th June 1-2 pm Greens Vision Forum on Social Justice at Manchester Lane 234 Flinders Lane Melbourne with Nic Francis Executive Director of the Brotherhood of St Laurence * Thursday 14th June 7.30pm - 8.30pm North Melbourne - 3 Crowns Hotel corner Errol and Victoria Sts. If you can't make it to these events, there's a whole series of these public meetings right through the campaign.
