The Greens have announced a fifth member of the ticket for the upcoming local government elections. Nell Schofield nominated prior to the news of the Byron Independents ticket meltdown and joins Sarah Ndiaye who is running for mayor, Elia Hauge, Delta Kay and Michelle Lowe.
‘It gives me great pride to stand with these amazing women who have stepped up for our community,’ Nell said.
‘I look forward to hitting the campaign trail with them for strong Greens representation on Council.’
Nell has made significant contributions to media, arts and public advocacy according to The Greens press release.

She is currently on the management committee of BayFM where she hosts a weekly show, and is part of the Women’s Giving Circle of the Northern Rivers Community Foundation.’
