ABC Friends Victoria is preparing to run a campaign in the next federal election, to encourage voters to choose candidates who support the ABC.

We would like to explore with you the prospect of running such a campaign in Bendigo. So we are inviting those we know in the Bendigo region who might be interested to discuss it with us.

We will provide a briefing on the ABC, and on ABC Friends, and our plans for the general election campaign. We would like to hear your views on the Bendigo situation and your advice on the politics of the region.

There is no obligation or pressure to run a specific campaign in Bendigo, but we would be happy to support one if enough people are interested.
