I’ve written here about how the Greens Party are burying the record of first ever Federal Greens MP Michael Organ in order to promote Adam Bandt yet another white male lawyer (a second being the Greens candidate for the state seat of Melbourne).
Cath Bowtell is the Labor candidate for Melbourne. If elected, she would be the first ever woman elected to the seat of Melbourne, alongside the first ever woman Prime Minister Julia Gillard.
Cath Bowtell was the former senior industrial officer for the ACTU and was intimately involved in securing improvements to workers rights under the Fair Work Act.
Her website is a good example of a strong campaigning website with a community action focus. There’s some nice integration of cutting edge web apps, as well as good use of social media and email. The design is nice and clean, with good amounts of white space. Given that her campaign has only just gotten up and running in the last fortnight, this is a stellar effort.
Declaration: I am a volunteer on Cath’s campaign.
