      > For the avoidance of doubt [RE: this VEC page](https://www.vec.vic.gov.au/candidates-and-parties/becoming-a-local-council-candidate/authorising-campaign-material): – Who was this AMA authorised by? – What is the authoriser’s address/PO Box?

      > With the administrative questions out of the way…

      > Lord Mayor Reece, – If the voters grant you a full term, how would you use that time to differentiate yourself from the policies held by Former Lord Mayor Capp AO? – What is the one thing you want all voters reading this AMA to know about you as a politician? – How will the Melbourne Metro and West Gate Tunnel affect the City of Melbourne once they open? – What are your thoughts on card-related surcharges?

      > Heritage rules are a big barrier to Melbourne adding enough housing to keep up with population growth, and there have been several quite questionable applications in the past.

      > Would you consider removing heritage overlays that do not apply to historically valuable buildings in order to help Melbourne grow and develop?

      > Hi Nick. A few questions:

      1. Will you reform the undemocratic voting process in the City of Melbourne that grants two votes to businesses and silences actual residents?
      2. Do you support businesses adding to congestion and emissions through forced return to work policies?
      3. Will you add true, seperated bike paths in Melbourne to support active transport?
      4. Will you reconsider your position on escooters to facilitate better connectivity throughout the CBD?
      5. Do you think it’s appropriate for the Lord Mayor to be linked to Sky News, given it’s historic and ongoing right-wing bias, fearmongering, and disinformation?
