REPORT | Doyle vs Thomson: Big debate on Victorias population increase The debate was attended by a 200 plus audience. The Lord Mayor showed courage under fire as he went down in the debate with only a pea-shooter of light-weight fashion statements like how many coffee shops Melbourne has vs a steady stream of deadly facts from Mr Thomson. The editors of candobetter.net are working to bring you a film of the debate, plus commentary and interviews with people who attended, ASAP. Mary Drost is to be resounding congratulated for achieving this important democratic event and also for calling for a referendum on population increase, which both Kelvin Thomson and Lord Mayor Doyle agreed would be desirable. SPP: Despite Lord Mayor Robert Doyle calling population growth Melbournes biggest challenge, neither The Age nor the Herald Sun reported on the debate today. Are they, as claimed in this candobetter.net story, part of the growth lobby?
