ALP president Mark Butler will be rolling up his sleeves next week for a couple of brews with the locals at the Suffolk Park Hotel.

Mr Butler, who is also Shadow Minister for Climate Change and Energy will be hosted by the state Labor candidate for Ballina, Asren Pugh.

Your chance to throw questions at him and hear about Labor’s plans to combat climate change, increase renewable energy will set you back $30, although that’s a lot less than a fancy city dinner with an MP would cost you.

The political brouhaha begins at 6pm next Tuesday, June 12, at the Suffolk Park Hotel.

Advance tickets can be purchased from http://polpub.eventbrite.com.au.

Maybe even your friends, or someone in your family. Maybe you. It’s my deep shame. It’s why I will never be rich and successful. But probably why I am so deeply happy and why I am so full of love and care for other humans.
