With Victorian’s preparing for a state election on the 29th of November 2014, Melbourne’s Gay and Lesbian Organisation for Business and Enterprise, GLOBE, arranged an evening to connect politicians from the three major parties to the LGBTI communities they serve.

As the sun began setting over Port Phillip Bay, 60 guests enjoyed canapés and the priceless view from 28 floors above Melbourne at Crown Metropol’s spectacular sky deck.  Master of Ceremonies for the evening was JOY 94.9’s Dean Beck and after a pitch from each of the pollies, the questions from the floor began to fly.

In order of appearance:  Greg Barber MLC (Greens)  –  Clem Newton-Brown MLA (Liberal)  –  Martin Foley MLA (Labor)

Recorded LIVE on 11th of September 2014 at Crown Metropol with thanks to the event sponsors Lander & Rogers.

Some elements were edited from the original recording for continuity and quality purposes to produce the podcast below.
