Canberra Votes
About this original series
CanberraVotes ( canberravotes.com ) is an attempt to document (and put on the public record) issues of concern to the community in the lead up to the ACT Election in 2008. The site makes extensive use of video and unlike most other sites which allow anonymous commenting, all registered commenters on this site are verified and will be identified by their full name and suburb of residence when they submit comments. The rationale behind this is that all opinions are important, but individuals must be prepared to stand on the public record behind the opinions they have expressed.
