Boothby Candidates Energy Forum

Hear from the candidates of the upcoming Federal Election on how we transition Australia to a cleaner, healthier and cheaper energy future.

Australia is in the midst of challenging global economic and political conditions that have manifested with rising household costs including energy. We are also going through the fastest technological change in global energy and transport since the beginning of the industrial revolution. How should Australian leaders handle this transition in a way that brings safer, more affordable and more reliable energy, and do it in a way so everyone can benefit? What are the best technologies and policies to adopt?

We invite our community to be part of this discussion by posing questions to the candidates running to be the next representative of the Federal Seat of Boothby.

Questions to the candidates can be asked via your registration on Humanitix.

Your MC and host is Dr Kate Wylie, a medical GP and Executive Director of Doctors for the Environment.

Confirmed on the candidates panel are:

Louise Miller-Frost MP (ALP) Joanna Wells (Australian Greens)

Also invited: Nicole Flint (Liberal)

Arrive early (from 2pm), or stick around after the event to check out community group stalls including browsing Electric Vehicles and cargo bikes, bookstall and help with understanding your energy bills with Electrify 5049+.

The event is family friendly and we will provide a children’s activity space coordinated by local parents with Working with Children checks.

Join us for a Q&A with Traditional Owners impacted by Santos gas expansion plans and Australian Conservation Foundation CEO, Adam Bandt.

Santos are headquartered in Adelaide. That’s why Traditional Owners are travelling all the way from New South Wales and the Northern Territory, to confront Santos in a series of actions right here in South Australia.

To coincide with this delegation of Traditional Owners being in Adelaide, we’ve organised a forum where you can learn more about their fight with Santos. We’ll also be joined by Australian Conservation Foundation CEO, Adam Bandt.

This is a unique opportunity to hear directly from Traditional Owners that are resisting Santos expansions. Join us and find out how you can get involved!
