No Response To Calls For A Public Head to Head Debate

The challenge for a public head-to-head debate put to Daryl Maguire by Dr Joe McGirr to discuss issues within the Electorate of Wagga Wagga cannot now go ahead.
The debate was to be held tomorrow evening Tuesday 22nd March in The Nathan Room at the Wagga Wagga Commercial Club commencing at 7pm. It has now had to be cancelled.
Dr McGirr is furious and said today "Since I raised this last Wednesday with Mr Maguire he has put obstacles in the way to absolve himself of attending. But the last straw was his complete lack of courtesy after I sent a final e-mail to both his Parliamentary Office in Sydney and Electorate office here in Wagga Wagga requesting his final response by 5 pm Friday".
"My campaign office and many people who were interested in the debate had taken a great deal of time in organizing this event - booking the Nathan Room at the Commercial Club - ensuring catering was in place and seeking the involvement of a choice of moderators for the debate". Dr McGirr.
"Mr Maguire's lack of response is disappointing and shows a disregard for the voters of the electorate"
"I cannot believe that a person of his standing would fail to display to the electorate a simple common courtesy to formally respond to my challenge" said Dr McGirr.
Mr Maguire last week told a Daily Advertiser journalist he would consider the challenge but Dr McGirr said "That was obviously a hollow response"
Dr McGirr said "I think he thought I would just go away"
Dr McGirr said Mr Maguire's stalling on the debate has further increased the electors’ view that he is a 'fence sitter'.
