I am The GREENS candidate for Newcastle and live in Newcastle. I have three children, am an environmental engineer specialising in water management and have worked on Aid projects in the Solomon Islands and Vietnam. I am a Newcastle City Councillor and am the coordinator of the Green Corridor Coalition, an alliance of more than 50 community and environment groups committed to the protection of biodiversity corridors in the Lower Hunter.
Property developers have handed over $18.3 million to the old parties since 2000. This includes Sydney Labor. Any why won't the "independents" agree not to accept donations from developers?
So who are really pulling the strings in Newcastle?
