The Greens campaign HQ in Mullumbimby has expanded, and moved from Santos Health Foods to the old bank building just down the street.

And in town to give candidate Dawn Walker a boost was Greens QLD MLC Larissa Waters. Both held an evening for the party faithful and otherwise curious at the Byron Bowling Club on Monday night. Ms Waters told The Echo she hears consistently from around Australia about the need for multinationals to pay their share in taxes and reining in political donations from big corporations.

She has also been a strong campaigner on the need to address the environmental catastrophe at the Great Barrier Reef. As part of a double-dissolution election, all the seats of lower and upper house MPs will be up for grabs.
