How I Can Help

HELPING YOU DIRECTLY 

As your MP I’m here to represent and assist you. If you need help with an individual issue please reach out. This could include dealing with State government departments or agencies, getting information about local infrastructure or developments, or discussing ideas for how we can improve our community. 

  • Housing
  • Dealing with state government agencies and NSW ministers
  • Raising your concerns in NSW Parliament
  • Local issues (traffic, roads, development)
  • Supporting community events 
  • Funding applications, local grants and awards
  • Coordinating congratulatory messages for birthdays and anniversaries 

If you're unsure whether your issue is a local, state, or federal issue - or if you're just unsure where to go - then I'm happy to refer you to the right place. 

Please note that my office gets a large number of emails from a wide variety of constituents, so please be patient as my staff and I address your concern and feel free to let us know if it's urgent. 

 

RAISING LOCAL ISSUES IN PARLIAMENT

My work in Parliament is based on amplifying the concerns and the needs of our local community here in Ballina and Byron Shires. 

As your state MP, I can: 

  • Celebrate local community organizations and individuals in parliament
  • Ask questions of Ministers
  • Introduce legislation to change the law
  • Introduce motions urging the government to do something 
  • Make speeches on important issues
  • Contribute to debates on legislation and other motions
  • Make inquiries to local Councils or the federal government
  • Seek funding for important projects 

If you think any of this could be helpful, please send me an email. Alternatively, you can let me know which issues you care about by taking the two-minute survey. 

 

WORKING ON POLICY MATTERS WITHIN MY PORTFOLIOS

I'm the NSW Greens Spokesperson for:

  • Education
  • Early Learning
  • Skills & TAFE
  • Premier & Cabinet
  • Older People
  • Tourism
  • Disaster Relief

That means I can assist people from across the entire state with matters of policy in these areas. I'm always happy to help constituents with matters in any policy area, but I will also work with my six Greens colleagues to get the best possible outcome for you and to make sure you have the best advice possible.

 

OTHER CONCERNS

I’m always looking for more ways to help! I think being a good local member means actively consulting with the community at every opportunity, so I always want to hear from you. Please contact me any time.
