Liberal: Louise Markus:

Liberal candidate Louise Markus was also invited to speak at the politics in the pub several months ago. While she told the BMUC at the time she would "very much like to take part", she also said that there was always a possibility because of her position as Opposition spokesperson on Veteran's affairs that she could be called by the leadership to attend other events. On July 7th she emailed BMUC to say she would not be attending the July 17th event. Her electorate office explained that Mrs. Markus would be attending a "portfolio related responsibility" in Queensland on the 17th.

The politics in the pub event will go ahead as planned, with the ALP and Green candidates.
