Greens nominee in bid to take state seat (ABC News Online)

The New South Wales Greens have closed nominations for the state seat of Balmain in Sydney's inner-west and only one person has put their name forward. Leichhardt Mayor Jamie Parker is hoping to make history by becoming the first Greens MP in the lower house of NSW Parliament.

Balmain is held by Labor's Verity Firth by a margin of 3.7 per cent, but the Greens are targeting the seat, believing it is likely they will win it at the state election next March.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

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.
