All-Candidates Meeting
All ten candidates took part. This is an audio recording of the meeting. As it plays, the words scroll on screen as they are spoken, with each speaker's name shown. No video of the event was recorded.
Open on YouTubeThe voices you hear are real. They are the candidates and moderators, recorded live at the meeting. The hall is very large and its acoustics are difficult, so we used an AI-assisted noise reduction tool to make each speaker easier to hear. Nothing was generated or re-voiced: every word is the speaker's own. Radio Sidney strives for excellence but, alas, it is sometimes elusive.
