Darebin City Council Elections 2012

With Council elections being run on Saturday 27th October 2012, many publications are running guides, commentary and comments.

Our local Darebin elections are no exception. VOTERS are being urged to find out more about their council candidates before they vote in this month’s elections. Municipal Association of Victoria chief executive Rob Spence said it was crucial for voters to be informed about what candidates stood for, on a range of issues.
