State Candidates Surveyed 2006.

Victorian State Election 2006

On behalf of the members and communities served by the Central Ranges Local Learning and Employment Network Inc, the Board of the LLEN has asked each of the candidates contesting the Lower House State electorates of Macedon District, Seymour District and Ballarat East District in the upcoming State election to respond to a series of questions submitted to them on Friday November 17th 2006.

The deadline for response was Thursday 23rd November 5:00pm. We have circulated this link to all 300+ LLEN Members and WebSite subscribers.

The Board of Directors of the CRLLEN takes very seriously its role to independently advocate 'without fear or favour' on behalf of the communities and particularly the young people it serves. The Board does not imply support for any position provided by a candidate, rather it is the position of the Board to encourage and support vigorous community debate.

We have not altered,corrected or modified the responses in any way.
