Sam Nugent, a Greens candidate for Brindabella, knows what it's like to trip and fall on a dodgy footpath in Canberra.
"I kicked my foot and I fell forward, smashing my face against the pavement, giving me a black eye, a small fracture and the scar that you see on my forehead," Ms Nugent said of the time she fell on a wobbly tiled paver in Braddon.
