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.

A number of Stanmore residents have been asking me lately what could be done to help revitalise their village centre. I agree that this would be a wonderful initiative for Inner West Council, so I've started consulting with urban planners and local businesses to see what could be done. Here are some initial thoughts - please let me know what you think.

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.

Pauline Lockie held her Inner West Council campaign launch event in Newtown on Saturday 15 July. In her campaign launch speech - which was filmed by and posted to Facebook with an amazing endorsement by City of Sydney councillor Jess Miller - Pauline explained why she decided to run for Inner West Council as an Independent. Here's the video and transcript of Pauline's speech, along with Cr Miller's endorsement.

ICYMI: Pauline launched her campaign with the following story in the local Inner West Courier. It's not on their website, so we've published it here alongside the original article.

In the second instalment of this series, Pauline tackles the distraction tactics and smear attempts she’s coming across as an independent candidate in the Inner West Council election. This time, it's Labor folks mucking around with smear tactics.

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.

As an independent candidate, Pauline needs your help. The major parties running for Inner West Council have big donors - but we don't.

Every donation helps! For example:

• $50 could help cover the cost of running this website
• $100 could help pay for printing flyers
• $250 could purchase signs for polling booths

And of course, with more we can do more!
