1 00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:04,519 Speaker 1: A chance to come together and to grill the candidates. 2 00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:08,720 Speaker 1: Tomorrow night, Counselor is hosting a Meet the Candidates session 3 00:00:08,760 --> 00:00:11,400 Speaker 1: ahead of the local body elections the ones vying for 4 00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: our vote. This is at the Ashburton College Auditorium, gets 5 00:00:14,440 --> 00:00:17,600 Speaker 1: underway at seven o'clock. Although safe to say that parking 6 00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:20,040 Speaker 1: could be a premium, so I would suggest to getting 7 00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,920 Speaker 1: there nice and early. Took a drive out to Hines 8 00:00:23,079 --> 00:00:27,080 Speaker 1: yesterday on a lovely, beautiful sunny mid Cannibury morning. But 9 00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:30,360 Speaker 1: like what we have today though, couldn't help but be 10 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:35,840 Speaker 1: distracted somewhat because something I had kind of forgotten about 11 00:00:36,200 --> 00:00:40,080 Speaker 1: in light of this Meet the Candidates evening is the 12 00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,680 Speaker 1: vast Us is in the radio station to pose one 13 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:46,600 Speaker 1: of the questions, and I'm yet to come up with something. 14 00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,479 Speaker 1: And then out of nowhere, genius struck. I thought, well, 15 00:00:50,520 --> 00:00:52,800 Speaker 1: instead of me flannd aground trying to come up with 16 00:00:52,840 --> 00:00:56,720 Speaker 1: something half baked, why not ask the children. So after 17 00:00:56,760 --> 00:00:59,360 Speaker 1: dropping off the millhouse, shouts to Robert and the team 18 00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,720 Speaker 1: at All Farm Engineering, shot across the rail tracks infiltrated 19 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:05,440 Speaker 1: the new entrance class at Heinz School. A big high 20 00:01:05,480 --> 00:01:10,720 Speaker 1: to miss read and miss what miss what and got 21 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,160 Speaker 1: a collection of students together asking what would you like 22 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:16,520 Speaker 1: to know about the candidates? Maybe what's a good question 23 00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:21,240 Speaker 1: to start with, and this was a very sensible starting point. 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:23,920 Speaker 1: Why do you want to be a counselor? Well, yeah, 25 00:01:23,920 --> 00:01:29,160 Speaker 1: of course, why is this the job for you? And 26 00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 1: then straight into business numbers. You want to know the numbers, 27 00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:34,880 Speaker 1: You want to know what the range rice is going 28 00:01:34,959 --> 00:01:38,720 Speaker 1: to be, Show us the figures and what you're going 29 00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:41,240 Speaker 1: to do about it. But a talk when it comes 30 00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:45,240 Speaker 1: to recreation and are beloved a network's center and where 31 00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: to next? Get a big HIJA slide? Yeah, show us 32 00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:54,120 Speaker 1: the high project hydro. Maybe a few more courts for 33 00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:57,600 Speaker 1: the netballers while we're at it. And then there was 34 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: one student who's looking for commitment. There was a pot 35 00:02:01,280 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: hole in the road. They would go and fix it. 36 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:06,800 Speaker 1: They'd have their work cut out for them, though, wouldn't they. 37 00:02:08,639 --> 00:02:11,520 Speaker 1: That's a full time gig, right there. Less time around 38 00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:14,320 Speaker 1: the board table, more time on the end of a shovel. 39 00:02:15,120 --> 00:02:18,200 Speaker 1: Thanks for the inspiration, kids. Hopefully it helps to shape 40 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:22,120 Speaker 1: something reasonable and we'll be putting that to our council 41 00:02:22,280 --> 00:02:24,119 Speaker 1: wannabes tomorrow night.
