I'm a Freshie local, a mum of two boys, environment and planning lawyer, and a councillor on Northern Beaches Council.
Everyday I fight for councils against over-development. But communities across NSW are fighting a losing battle against the State Government's pro-developer, anti-community planning laws from the Minns Government, which will overdevelop our area and destroy our environment. I've heard from the community how deeply opposed it is to projects like 39 storey monstrosity proposed in Brookvale. Labor isn't listening.

As a councillor, I have runs on the board fighting for the wellbeing of people and the community. I've doubled affordable housing commitments and pushed Council to commit to developing affordable housing on Council land. I successfully fought for funding of a local women's shelter, homelessness and mental health services.
I'm a staunch defender of the environment. I've investigated reviews on protecting coastal dunes, management of contamination and water quality, and phasing out toxic chemical use by Council. I will fight hard for the right of our children to have a healthy and safe climate.
I'm not here to reform Labor or the Liberals, or to push the Teals harder on incremental change.
I'm here to give the environment and climate crisis the urgency it deserves.
I'm here to fight to ensure housing and essential goods are within reach of ordinary people.
