The ACT gov has harnessed the power of social media to interact with voters via twitter. The ministers have now held a couple of 2 hour Q&A session on twitter, with the first one held back in July. Tonight was the 2nd session (found out it was on via the Canberra Win news) and thought I would join the conversation this time and pose a couple of questions regarding their thinking on introducing a needle exchange program into the Canberra Jail.
Have to say whilst I didn't get any definitive answers (not surprising really - they are politicians afterall) it was a good opportunity to air my thoughts on the matter and as I got replies from the Chief Minister I at least know she has read what I had to say and at the end of the day that's all someone can do - stand up and say what they think.
So next time the ACT Gov holds one of these twitter Q&As I'll be there again with bells on.
Oh and if you're interested to see what went on all questions and answers can be found under #actvcc
