Congratulations, Mandy Nolan, on winning Greens preselection for the state seat of Ballina.
As a swinging voter, I can’t think of anyone better to represent us in NSW Parliament.
Currently, only one per cent of state Labor’s budget goes towards the environment.
NSW Labor is one of only two state governments allowing logging in old growth forests. We desperately need a strong voice for the environment in NSW.
There’s a whole host of issues where the Northern Rivers has been let down by state Labor.
From music festivals, decommissioning our train network in 2004, to public transport issues in general, NSW Labor has been unkind to the Northern Rivers.
The LNP and One Nation are no better. Mandy would certainly get the attention for our electorate that we deserve.
Go Mandy, and shake up Sydney-centric state parliament for the rainbow region.
For four decades The Echo has printed the stories some people loved, some people hated, and some pretended not to read. If you want us to keep telling the truth, the real truth, not the sugar-coated version. We’ll need your support to keep the presses rolling.
