The movement takes flight

Voices of Mackellar (VoM) is literally off to a flying start for 2021 with 1000s of flyers being distributed around the electorate inviting people to share their voice and participate in a Kitchen Table Conversation (KTC). 

 

With the possibility of an election in the 2nd half of the year we don't have any time to waste. Our report based on data from all of our KTCs is due to be published in May/June.

 

Last year we had 140 KTC participants in our first 6 weeks and we are now planning weekly KTCs again all over the electorate.

 

We’re calling for as many of you as possible to take the next step & host a KTC - if 140 people were to host a party of 5-10 friends & neighbours, this project would quickly multiply. If those participants go on to host, we'll have heard from 1000s of Mackellar voices.

 

We have updated our KTC website page with more information about KTCs including a video and helpful documents you can download.

 

If you'd like to host a KTC send us an email We'd love to hear from you!

What people are saying about Kitchen Table Conversations

 

We've been so pleased with the overwhelmingly positive reposonse from KTC particpants so far. Here's what a few of them had to say:

 

“Engaging, rewarding experience.”

“Excellent. It was open and honest.”

“Warm, welcoming and super interesting.”

“Really positive, very, very interesting and a great initiative.”

“The fact you were listened to was just wonderful.”

.

If you still haven't participated in a KTC it's not too late to join in on the action.
