Jess Wilson has a rather remarkable proposition for the people of Kew tonight: give her another four years in Parliament, but don’t expect her to give you one evening of her time.

Tonight is Kew’s only community candidates’ forum. Once every four years, candidates have the opportunity to front the people whose votes they’re asking for, defend their record and answer questions about what they intend to do next.

Jess Wilson has decided she’d rather not.

Instead, there’s an empty chair with her name on it. Which is a rather fitting illustration of how much accountability the people of Kew can apparently expect from their local MP.

Four years ago, her former boss Josh Frydenberg did exactly the same thing to the people of Kooyong. Apparently, facing your own electorate is becoming an optional extra in the Liberal Party.

Jess Wilson wants another four years representing Kew. She just doesn’t want to spend one evening answering to it.

@MikeCarlton01 @FinancialReview Had to laugh today when Tom Elliott was clutching his pearls about lowering the temperature

He & Mitchell spent 5 years demonising Dan Andrews day in day out. To a point where gallows were paraded in the streets of Melbourne with his effigy.

I mean they are the worst of us

Meanwhile, it's fight club over at Victorian Liberal HQ.
Dumped candidate demands party bring him back.

These people are seriously not ready to govern.

@aaronsmith @heidimur All this trivia on the day that Jess Wilson, announced, with strategic favourable drops, she will #privatise the wholesale fruit & vegetable market, throwing away all Victorians food security, to the highest bidder. #springst #auspol https://t.co/z4gDrYc9fr

[Prof Jenny Hocking @palaceletters]

Victorian Liberals promise to sell public asset to private interests. What's next - schools? Hospitals? Like Jeff Kennett's privatisation mania - sold off schools, public transport, ambulance, energy, SEC, Gas & Fuel Corp - Vic Libs promise more privatisation #auspol #springst

[Joe2: Woke & proud of it. @eatatjoe2]

@3AW693 Jess Wilson does not answer the question. Tom Elliot lets her off the hook. She has plans to privatise far more than the market, which will endanger food security & increase the cost of food basics. Jeff Kennett madness revisited. #springst #auspol

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

Jess Wilson wants Victorians to stop being pessimistic while campaigning relentlessly to convince them Victoria is terrible.

[Joe2: Woke & proud of it. @eatatjoe2]

"Melbourne Wholesale Fruit & Veg Market: Coalition pledges to sell Epping site for $578M."
The only place in Australia that still has a publicly owned food wholesaler. Corporate profits over citizens, the Lib way. #springst #auspol https://t.co/Wj5fmDGXqp

Every Victorian deserves a chance to own a home of their own.

But that dream is getting harder.

That’s why a re-elected Carroll Labor Government will build 25,000 new homes and reserve them for first home buyers.

Your daily reminder that Pauline Hanson said domestic violence leave was “a scam”, child support a “cash cow” and maternity leave a “welfare handout mentality”.

But hey, she now cares about making fun of your prolapse.

@aaronsmith @gramazzy4 @QandAinPublic Same tactic as Crisafulli in last Qld election.
Wave a blue pamphlet, avoid any tough questions on policy, costings or internal party conflict. Know that the media will wave you through without any real scrutiny.

[Aaron Smith @aaronsmith]

@QandAinPublic Wilson’s campaign strategy is becoming pretty clear: avoid long-form interviews and stay away from any forum where she doesn’t control the questions.

Helen Haines’ friend Serena has spoken out, saying she hopes this attack is a turning point, & that we can all be more like Helen, by rejecting the “hatred” derived from “Trumpian” politics & being kind to people of all backgrounds.💥👏 #auspol

Kew voters will turn up tomorrow night to scrutinise the people asking for their vote.

Will Jess Wilson turn up, or follow Josh Frydenberg and Amelia Hamer in the Liberal tradition of demanding the electorate’s support while squibbing the electorate’s scrutiny?
