Can Mr. Dowling find out if the policy has changed because I would put it to him that these are democratic rights of citizens. I was talking about the rights people have. People should have a right to be canvassed by people who put themselves forward in election to represent the people and represent all people. If there is a situation where people are not allowed to interact with local politicians, and I gave an example where I was not allowed to meet residents in the centre and there was nothing we could do because we were told that they were private companies.
