Shouts from the desert

Just some quick comments on the candidates forum, specifically on the presentation skills of the candidates. All candidates who attended demonstrated reasonable or better presentation skills this evening. The surprise was Lindsay Peters (for the Greens), who has improved dramatically over previous efforts to bring himself into the same league as the best of the presenters this evening. I will go into more detail on the forum at a later time.

If I had to pick between the attending candidates based on their presentation skills today I would be hard pressed to separate most of them, hence when I do my full evaluation of this evening's forum I will be concentrating on other factors.
