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 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.

THERE were ugly scenes at the extraordinary meeting of the newly elected Inner West Council last night as Labor and Liberal councillors teamed up to block opposition to WestConnex.

In the first instalment of what we hope will be a very occasional series, Pauline tackles the dodgy tactics and smear attempts she’s coming across as an independent candidate in the Inner West Council election.
