On New Year's Eve 2017, I took a look back at the year that was in the Inner West. Topics covered include the election campaign and the Labor/Liberal (Laboral?) mayoralty power-sharing deal, WestConnex, Sydney Metro, planning proposals, and the work I'm doing with you to make sure our Inner West remains the best place in Sydney to live, work and play.

I'm very proud of Emmy, Catriona and Marla from Newtown's Camdenville Public School, who were the guest stars on Radio Skid Row's breakfast show on Thursday 7 December.

The loss of our industrial lands in the Inner West has become something I've become increasingly interested in at Council. We have such a rare and vibrant industrial area in and around Marrickville, but it's now under increasing threat from gentrification, development, and the desire of some to be seen as champions of the creative industry no matter the cost.

A number of residents have contacted me about the incoming resident parking scheme (RPS) changes being introduced in parts of St Peters, Tempe and Sydenham in early 2018. Here's a summary of the main queries and answers, much of which has been gleaned from Council staff.

On Wednesday 22 November, Inner West Council held a public meeting about the "local impacts" of WestCONnex on Lilyfield and Rozelle. I wasn't able to attend, but Jennifer Aaron of Leichhardt Against WestCONnex was, and she wrote up the following report.

Over the last week, we've seen escalating incidents of vandalism, abuse, harassment, threats and intimidation within our community after street artist Scott Marsh painted a provocative mural on the back of the Botany View Hotel. Residents have asked for Inner West Council's support in this matter, which is why I've submitted the following urgency motion for consideration at our next meeting tonight.

This video was taken at 10pm last night in St Peters, where residents have endured yet another sleepless night thanks to WestCONnex night works. It's been going on for 2 weeks now, with only 2 nights' respite each week.

I was interviewed by Eastside FM's Drive program on Wednesday 4 October about becoming a Councillor on Inner West Council; the "baptism of fire" that was the Mayoral election; and the ongoing debacle that is WestConnex. Have a listen.

A few folks (including Daily Telegraph!) have been asking about links to Lord Mayor Clover Moore and how she's supporting my campaign for Inner West Council. So here's the deal.

Here's the how to vote flyer my volunteers and I are handing out at polling booths for the Inner West Council election on Saturday 9 September.
