Party representatives in the NSW Legislative Council Robert Brown, Robert Borsak and musician and long-time party supporter Steve Lee will hold a meeting at the SSAA Tenterfield pistol club next Wednesday, March 4.
The three men are on an 11 day talking tour across NSW.
A party spokesperson said they’ll be available to discuss issues ranging from native vegetation, polls and wires, the biodiversity conservation act and coal seam gas.
Mr Borsak last made headlines when former NSW Premier Barry O’Farrell took aim at his extra-curricular activities.
"I always got the impression he was more comfortable with defenceless prey than those who could fight back," Mr O'Farrell said.
An attack that Mr Borsak called an “extraordinary outburst” from an ousted Premier and backbencher.
His compatriot on the tour, Steve Lee, is more widely recognised as the voice of the song “I Like Guns” which found an online audience of over five million people on YouTube.
Bob Rogan from the SSAA Tenterfield Branch said irrespective of political persuasion it should prove to be a fun event.
“They are our voice in the parliament so it’s a good opportunity to speak to them.
“It’s a bit of a meet and greet to air any queries that you could have.
“It’s just another good night out for Tenterfield, whether you want to talk to a politician or not,” Mr Rogan said.
The evening will run from 6-9pm and Mr Rogan said he was viewing it as a “community day” rather than a political meeting.
“We’ll have a barbecue and drinks, fireworks for the kids and a clay target demonstration,” he said.
