Where's the 'fair go' in this election?
Australia supposedly has a culture of a "fair go".
What I find striking is that someone running as an independent in the upcoming election clearly does not have a "fair go".
Certain people are interfering to ensure that campaign events cannot take place, by ordering the venues to prevent other bookings.
Should the venues who gave in to such coercion be named and shamed?
Should the people interfering in the elections by preventing opposing candidates from having campaign events be named and shamed?
The ultimate question is what these people are so scared about to feel they must interfere in the elections like this?
And one question for the voters: Given these recent actions, and given all the controversy over elections across the world, do you really believe the Australian elections are "free and fair"?
