Citizens’ agenda: What do you want the election candidates for Barker to talk about?
Have your say in our two-minute survey and help us set the agenda for the 2022 federal election.
During the state election campaign, Murray Bridge News asked you about the issues that were most important to you, then put your questions directly to the candidates.
Over the course of five weeks, we learned about their positions on COVID-19, public transport, health services, disadvantage and climate change.
In the days leading up to the election, we gave them all an opportunity to speak to you in person at a public forum.
Now, with a federal election soon to be upon us, we’re doing it all again.
We want to hear which issues will win your vote.
Take our two-minute survey today and help us set the agenda.

Key dates ahead of the 2022 federal election
We don’t know exactly when the federal election will be yet, but it is most likely to be sometime in May.
In the meantime, it’s important that you update your details on the electoral roll if you haven’t done so since the last federal election in May 2019.
You can do that at the Australian Electoral Commission website.
If you don’t do it within seven days of the election being officially called, you won’t be able to vote.
We’ll add more dates to this section if the election is officially called in the coming days.
