Great community response

Yesterday, I was out doorknocking in Islington and Wickham with Lee Rhiannon, State Upper House MP.

And what a great response!

Residents voiced the need for a change in Newcastle; and not just any change. Residents wanted a change to a representative who would advocate for the necessary changes to address climate change and to push for appropriate development not development at any cost (Honeysuckle was mentioned many times as an example of inappropriate development).

And The Greens garage sale in Wickham Park was a great success. Many people chipped in to make it happen and many thanks to the great team effort.

Meanwhile, it is rumoured around town that last night Clr John Tate "independent" candidate for Newcastle held a fundraiser attended by all the big developers of the Lower Hunter where a weekend to Pokolbin was auctioned for a cool $10,000. Is the "independent" candidate going to tell the voters who is donating to his campaign prior to 24 March election?

Unlike other candidates, the Greens are proudly upfront about the donations we receive. Anyone can keep an eye on who is donating to the Greens. Just visit The Greens website to see continuously disclosed donations.
