Day 12 cont

The #Liberals have a #candidate problem continued:

“The #Coalition’s (#LNP) election campaign is being dogged by a lengthening list of #CandidateIssues, the latest revelation that the contender (#JeffreyKidney) for the #Melbourne seat of #Wills pleaded #guilty to obtaining financial advantage by #deception and was ordered to pay #fines and #compensation worth more than $10,000.”

The poor quality of candidates is beginning to bite the Liberals.

Why do people continue to speak for free at meeting industry conferences? Since they do, why would the organizers change their practice?

Why don't meeting conferences pay speakers? Here's why so many industry conferences budget for everything — except their presenters!
