Karl Maftoum (ALP) doesn’t live in the electorate of Brindabella.
I morally think candidates need to live in the electorate they hope to represent.
Maftoum is another example of more lazy would-be politicians taking short cuts before they even get into office. Maftoum has already let down the electorate of Brindabella and he hasn’t even been elected an MLA!
I agree. Candidates suck who don’t want to be with the people who they demand votes from. Anyone else other than Karl Maftoum not living in their electorate??????
