What issues are you voting on this election?
There’s only a month left of billboards and political debates before we head to the polling booths and decide who will lead our country. It’s a big decision that will influence the next three years.
From the living wage to homelessness, housing to transport, immigration to mental health - Neighbourly wants to hear what is affecting your vote.
Is it a local issue in your community or something across the region? or the country?
Maybe you've switched sides or remaining loyal to one party - whatever your decision, we want to know what issues you’d like your ideal government to focus on. Let us know by commenting below!
