The Seat of Bean Candidates Forum was held on Wednesday 23 April at Namadgi School, attracting over 100 attendees and many more via live stream.
Moderated by Genevieve Jacobs — former ABC journalist and current CEO of Hands Across Canberra — the forum offered voters a rare opportunity to hear directly from all candidates contesting the 2025 Federal Election for the electorate of Bean.
The event was praised by attendees for its smooth and inclusive format, with one participant commenting:
“You smoothly integrated questions from people at the hall, online, and pre-submitted questions without any hiccups I could see!”

Presented by the Community Councils of Tuggeranong, Weston Creek, and Woden Valley
