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.

As a community-based Independent, I don't have the money or resources that political parties do. That's why I rely on great people like you to help power my grassroots campaign.

Every donation helps! For example:

• $25 could help pay for a week of Facebook advertising
• $100 could help pay for printing flyers
• $250 could help pay for an online campaign to reach even more voters in the Damun/Stanmore ward.

And of course, with more we can do more!
