Note on hustings formats: There are three kinds of hustings being held this election. Regional/State Hustings, which will focus on local issues, party strategy and leadership. Thematic Hustings, which will focus on key policy areas and Q&As, which are being hosted by party bodies for their members. Q&As which will mix the approaches of the two kinds of hustings and be led by a variety of member bodies/groups.
Dial-in numbers will be made available to people who do not have access to the internet and a number of hustings will have either a BSL signer, or captions.
