Philip also commented:
This is apparently the largest number of candidates in living memory, promising a lively and exciting election.
Now this list has been made public I anticipate that conversations will be had within the community between candidates and the electorate as people begin to decide the shape of the next Council. It’s nice to see a good spread of ages too. From 22 to 64. The three candidates for Chief Islander are the same three that stood against each other in 2016.
