As teens in the 1990s we were bullied and belted up regularly as the "geeks and nerds" and we copped it pretty badly. But every negative has a positive. I became a journalist, another became an editorial cartoonist. And during that time, as my mates did, forget the bullies let's learn shit.

This is 100%. As the Kinglake town reporter, I watched, first-hand Cathy McGowan win the federal seat of Indi. How? She engaged with the community. Simple stuff. This video is in support of what I witnessed first-hand. A local candidate, engaged in the community.
