Knowing about the Brisbane City ‘Your City Your Say’ engagement campaign, I was interested to see the above on the front page of The Advertiser, our local paper. It turned out to be every thing I can think of what engagement should not be.

• No linkage to a real decision
• ‘Opinion’ tick boxes with poor choices
• No reason given for the survey (presumably to assist future editorial bias?) other than to gather opinions of Geelong residents.
• No opportunities for suggestions for something different

All together, not something to encourage people for future engagement.
