As a former registered nurse, local councillor and mayor, I have extensive board and decision-making experience with Hunter Councils, Regional Development Australia (Hunter), Mid Coast Water, Upper Hunter Arts, Tourism and community committees.
The Greens are committed to a society that cares for everyone.
My priorities are:
- Sovereignty and treaty for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples.
- Action on climate change with transition to renewable energy.
- Public education and restoration of TAFE funding.
- Public health, Medicare, NDIS and hospital funding.
- Fair and equitable taxation reform.
- Food and water security – sustainable farming.
- Transparent and trustworthy political processes.
- Federal recognition of Local Government with no forced amalgamations.
- Strong support for small/medium businesses.
- Ethical justice for refugees.
We want to build and support progressive and resilient societies.
The communities in Lyne need to grab hold of new opportunities and business models. We have the natural resources. We have the locations. We have the right people.
We are at the forefront of the global transition to a better social, economic and environmental future.
