We wish Ms. Pike the very best in her imminent retirement and thank her for representing us in the seat of Melbourne. We face a by- election next month and 2 of our current councillors will stand against each other – Cr. Kanis (Labor) and Cr. Oke (Greens). For those of us who wish to meet these candidates face-to-face and others, (whom we have no knowledge of yet), here is an opportunity. It may be a little far for CBD’s to travel, but it should be a hearty event! Liberals bow out of Melbourne seat race
