ALL of the ACT’s Cabinet ministers will be available to answer questions from members of the community on Twitter from 7.30 tonight.

To participate in the hour-long “ACT Virtual Community Cabinet” session, Twitter users can add the hashtag #actvcc and can follow a the dedicated @ACTVCC account.

Tweets can be sent to ministers individually at the following accounts: Katy Gallagher is @KatyGMLA; Andrew Barr is @ABarrMLA; Simon Corbell is @SimonCorbell; Joy Burch is @JoyBurchMLA; and Shane Rattenbury is @ShaneRattenbury.

Tonight’s “Twitter Cabinet” is the fifth to be run by the ACT Government, but the first to happen in the evening, which Chief Minister Katy Gallagher said would allow more Canberrans to be involved.

“In the past our twitter cabinets have been conducted through the work day or during lunch-breaks, but having it after hours will hopefully give a larger group of Canberrans a chance to take part,” the Chief Minister said.

Ms Gallagher encouraged all Canberrans “with an issue on their mind” to prepare questions for the Twitter session.

“This particular way of engaging with the community also allows us a government to engage with a demographic that are traditionally younger and sometimes not as actively engaged in the political process,” she said.

All ministers’ contact details can be found on the www.directory.act.gov.au website or by calling Canberra Connect on 13 22 81.
