Dawn Walker, the newest Greens MP, made her inaugural speech in the Upper House of the NSW Parliament on International Women's Day.
Dawn spoke very movingly of her journey from her roots as a passionate schoolgirl writing letters to the local government about her local urban forest, through to her life as a community activist in the Northern Rivers.
Watch Dawn's speech here:
Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.
In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.
Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.
Dear Transport Minister,
New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.
I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
