Last week, I met with the Deputy Premier of NSW, John Barilaro, to explain why our residents are so concerned with the scale of development planned for our inner west, and specifically, the lack of open and green space we’re seeing in these proposals.

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.

INDEPENDENT candidates in the Inner West Council election have slammed Premier Gladys Berejiklian's failure to unwind the unpopular merger of Ashfield, Leichhardt and Marrickville councils after she announced today that the mergers of 14 Sydney councils would not go ahead.
