Independent candidate Zoe Daniel and Liberal incumbent Tim Wilson at the Goldstein community forum on Thursday evening last week.While both camps played down the poll’s findings in comparison to their own research, both agreed the race for the blue ribbon seat was tight. Labor’s Martyn Abbott polled 12.6 per cent, the Greens candidate Alana Galli-McRostie was on 7.7 per cent, the United Australia Party was on 3.2 per cent, One Nation 1.8 per cent and the Liberal Democrats were on 1.9 per cent.
