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 being able to hop on a ferry at Glebe or Annandale and within minutes being on our beautiful harbour at Circular Quay instead of sitting on a bus fighting the congested roads in peak hour traffic.
Whilst the Labor and Liberal parties continue to support multi-billion dollar tollways the Greens are working for common sense alternatives that will benefit the community and deliver real results.
And that solution is world class public transport.
Dear Minister Constance,
A ferry service at Blackwattle Bay in Glebe and one at Rozelle Bay in Annandale 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 establish a ferry service at Blackwattle Bay for the Glebe-Forest Lodge area and one at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area.
Yours sincerely,
Janet signed the petition: "Clean air for White Bay".
Melanie completed the survey: "What's Your Opinion On The Lockout Laws?".
