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.

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.

A number of Stanmore residents have been asking me lately what could be done to help revitalise their village centre.

Here are some initial thoughts - please let me know what you think.

I've now doorknocked most streets in the Stanmore ward, and residents have been raising lots of local issues with me and asking how I'd respond if I'm elected to Inner West Council. Here's a summary of some of the key local concerns that have been raised with me, along with how I'll work in this areas if elected.

INDEPENDENT candidate for the Inner West Council (Stanmore ward) Pauline Lockie will be joined by City of Sydney Independents Lord Mayor Clover Moore and Councillor Jess Miller tonight for an inspiring event.

INNER West Council candidate Pauline Lockie will run for Stanmore ward with a team of community-led independents to give voters a powerful alternative to the major parties, and bring accountability and transparency to local government.

Like many Inner West residents, Pauline was appalled by the way our councils were swept aside by the NSW Government after our Liberal and Labor former Councillors defied our community’s wishes to help push the merger through.

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.
