Bennelong
It has to be the most famous, and fiercely-contested, electorate in the country: John Howard's marginal seat of Bennelong. And we need your help to make a big impact there this election.
It’s not about the politicians, the pundits or the polls. It's about the issues. From climate change to industrial relations, education, Iraq and investing in a sustainable, economic future -- Bennelong residents now have the power to push the Prime Minister, their local MP, for policies that will change Australia. Our campaign's aim is to get a more accountable and progressive MP for Bennelong - one who will be proactive on the big issues that face us all. Election Day is just days away - if you've been waiting until the last minute to get involved - now's the time!

Adopt-a-BoothMore than 10% of voters make up their minds at the polling booth.Which issues do you want Bennelong voters to be thinking about as they decide?
This election, remind Bennelong of the important issues when it counts most - by adopting a polling booth near you on election day.
