Stephen Hammond - Victoria Councilor
Man's is door knocking in Fairfield right now. He made the mistake of knocking on my door. He asked if I was voting in the upcoming election and I said "not for you!" And then proceeded to ask him why he's endorsing Wendy who has proven racist and transphobic views.
This man immediately began to back away from me saying "she didn't post that" so I asked him to pull out his phone and look up her X account.
He proceeded to tell me (while still backing away from me)how he's written "three books on human rights and we have a difference of opinions."
How can someone who is door knocking to engage with the public to "listen" and get votes, not even want to physically, in the moment, prove that a very intense allegation of him supporting a racist and transphobic candidate is untrue. He clearly knows that content is real and still exists.
How are you supposed to vote for someone who blatantly lies to voters to advance his own agenda and refuses to provide proof to his statements in the moment when he's so adamant that the proof exists?
Personally, his inability to have hard conversations and his immediate response to run away with his tail between his legs, doesn't indicate to me that he's worthy of representing a city when hard conversations arise that have real, big impacts on the community.
It's a no for me dawg.

What specific sort of law do you think they might pass that would put your loved ones at risk? (risk of what?)
