  • Join Our Picnic to Reclaim Wentworth Park

    Join our picnic with a free BBQ to Reclaim Wentworth Park for our community

    The use of our public land must be decided by the community, not the gambling and racing industries. But right now, valuable green space in the heart of our city is at risk of continuing to be used for cruel greyhound racing instead of finally being opened up for public use.

    The NSW Labor Government is considering extending the lease for greyhound racing at Wentworth Park beyond 2027. We cannot let this happen.

    We have a plan for a Wentworth Park that is open to our community for all the things we love - enjoying green space, picnics, sports, walking our dogs, and more. This space has so much to offer.

    Please join us for a picnic and a free BBQ to help take a stand and ensure that Wentworth Park is returned to our community when the current lease expires in 2027.

    Date: Sunday 7th December 2025

    Time: 11am till 1pm

    Location: Wentworth Park

    Bring a picnic blanket and we'll supply the food - let's show the government how this beautiful parkland could be used if it’s given back to our community! 

    RSVP to Join our Picnic To Reclaim Wentworth Park for our Community

    Add your name and RSVP to attend today. The event is free, but your RSVP will help us cater for the BBQ

  • Share Your Story: Cruise Ship Pollution at White Bay

    Our community deserves clean air free from the toxic fumes of cruise ships. That's why I'm so pleased to share that construction of shore power facilities at White Bay Cruise Terminal is set to begin in September this year, with the project expected to be fully operatrional by the end of 2026.

    This comes after more than a decade of strong community advocacy and sustained pressure from The Greens. This is a huge win, and it wouldn't have happened without the thousands of residents and community groups who kept this issue on the agenda and demanded action. Together, we've secured significant progress towards cleaner air for our community.  

    While this is a significant win for our community, shore power is only effective if ships plug inThat's why I'm continuing to push for a legal requirement for all ships docking at White Bay to use the shore power infrastructure and switch off their diesel engines.

    Please use the form below to share your story, and how you've been impacted by cruise ship pollution. Let me know what it would mean for you, if shore power was made mandatory, to ensure old, polluting cruise ships no longer ran their diesel engines around the clock while in port. I'll help amplify your story next time we raise this issue in Parliament.

  • Restore the Balmain East Seawall

    Please sign our petition calling on the NSW Labor Government to prioritise restoring the Balmain East Seawall


    183 signatures

    Our foreshore must be accessible for pedestrians to enjoy, but for two years, the Balmain East Seawall has been out of action. 

    I've raised this issue in Parliament and the Government has suggested it will take until at least the end of the year for the path to be re-opened for our community.

    Our community deserves better. The Government needs to stop the delays and prioritise restoring this important path so everyone can enjoy the beauty of our harbour.

    Please join us in calling on the Government to act now to restore the Balmain East Seawall for our community. 

    We call on the NSW Minister for Transport to prioritise the restoration of the Balmain East Seawall for our community.

  • Stop the Cuts to Royal Prince Alfred Hospital Midwives

    Sign our petition to stop the cuts to midwives at Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital Sydney. 

    125 signatures

    Inner West families deserve access to world-class maternity services, and our nurses and midwives deserve job security. 

    Right now, 15-20 full-time midwifery positions are on the chopping block at Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital here in Sydney. These senseless cuts could also see nine beds in the postnatal ward close as part of the sweeping changes outlined by the Sydney Local Health District. 

    We know NSW nurses and midwives are chronically short-staffed and underfunded, with the lowest wages in the country. This move is the latest in a string of bad decisions that could deliver poorer health outcomes for parents and babies.

    The NSW Labor Government cannot allow these cuts to proceed. 

    Please sign our petition calling on the NSW Health Minister to intervene and prevent these dangerous cuts to midwifery staffing at RPA Hospital. 

    To the NSW Minister for Health,

    We call on the NSW Government to intervene to stop the dangerous cuts to midwifery staffing and beds at Royal Prince Alfred (RPA) Hospital.

  • End Greyhound Racing at Wentworth Park

    Sign our petition to end greyhound racing at Wentworth Park and return this valuable green space to our community. 

    394 signatures

    The use of our public land must be decided by the community, not the gambling and racing industries. But right now, valuable green space in the heart of our City is at risk of continuing to be used for cruel greyhound racing instead of finally being opened up for public use. 

    Pyrmont and Ultimo are two of the most densely populated suburbs in Australia, and with more development planned, we urgently need the government to deliver more green open space for our growing community. 

    We also know that our local community does not support greyhound racing continuing on this site. In 2024 alone, more than 390 greyhounds were injured and five tragically lost their lives in races held at Wentworth Park. It's a cruel industry that is beyond redemption.

    Our community has long advocated for the closure of this notorious track, and for the parkland to be returned to our community for public use.

    Disappointingly, the NSW Labor Government is considering extending the greyhound racing lease at Wentworth Park beyond 2027. We cannot let this happen. 

    Join us in calling on the NSW Labor Government to end cruel greyhound racing at Wentworth Park and to return this valuable green space to our community for public use.

  • Ban Gambling Advertising in NSW

    Sign our petition to help ban gambling advertising in NSW. 

    333 signatures

    Children and young people should be able to use their devices without being exposed to harmful gambling advertising.

    Disappointingly, both the NSW Labor Government and the Federal Government have refused to take action to ban harmful gambling advertising. 

    Australia already has the highest per capita gambling losses of any country in the world, and experts have warned that exposure to gambling advertising fuels riskier betting behaviour. 

    South Australia took action to restrict gambling advertising in the state, including black-out periods on television and radio, but the NSW Premier is refusing to follow suit. How many more people will develop gambling addictions or face hefty losses before the government acts? 

    Please sign our petition calling on the NSW Premier to take action.

    Dear Premier,

    We call on the NSW Government to work with the Federal Government to ban harmful gambling advertising in NSW.

  • Ferry Service for Annandale

    Please sign our petition calling on the NSW Minister for Transport to deliver a much-needed ferry service for Annandale. 


    272 signatures

    Imagine hopping on the ferry in Annandale and heading straight across the harbour into the CBD. A ferry wharf in Annandale would increase the number of public transport options available for our community, lower daily travel costs, and help reduce congestion in our suburbs. 

    The NSW Government has told our community they will deliver a ferry for Annandale, but we're now more than two years into the current government and the ferry is nowhere to be seen. With congestion in Annandale worse than ever after the opening of the Rozelle Interchange, the government needs to act quickly to reduce traffic. 

    Please join us in calling on the NSW Minister for Transport to deliver the new ferry service for Annandale. 

    We call on the NSW Minister for Transport to deliver a much-needed ferry service for Annandale to help relieve congestion and provide quicker, cheaper, and more sustainable transport options for our community.  

    Sign our petition calling on the NSW Government to deliver a ferry service to Annandale during this term of government.

  • Creating Safer Streets at 30km/h

    Please sign our petition supporting safer speeds of 30km/h on local streets


    238 signatures

    Imagine a city where streets are built as shared spaces for people, not just cars. Where kids can safely walk and ride to school, and where more people are comfortable hopping on their bikes to get to work, rather than sitting in endless traffic. This is what we should be aspiring to achieve, in a global city like Sydney. 

    The expert evidence is clear that the best way to create safer and more liveable neighbourhoods is to introduce safer speeds of 30km/h on local streets. 

    A person struck by a vehicle at 50km/h has only a 10% chance of survival. At 30km/h, the survival rate increases to 90%. Safer speeds on local streets keep everyone safe, regardless of whether they're walking, riding their bike, or driving their car. 

    Please sign our petition calling on the Minister for Roads to introduce safer speeds of 30km/h on local streets. 

    We call on the Minister for Roads to improve our streets for everyone by supporting safer speeds of 30km/h on local streets. 

    Sign our petition to support safer speeds on local streets today.

  • Let’s Work Together to Restore Our Community's Parking Spaces

    Support Our Petition for Transparency and Fairness in Local Decision-Making

    49 signatures

    Recently, new signage was installed on our street, resulting in the removal of 25 much-needed parking spaces used by local residents every day. These changes were made without any prior notice or consultation, leaving many of us surprised and frustrated.  

    We believe that decisions affecting our daily lives should be made with transparency, fairness, and respect for community input.  

    We kindly ask NSW Maritime Police to work with Inner West Council to:  

    Review the recent changes and consider reversing the signage and parking removal  
    Engage with residents to find a fair and balanced solution that meets everyone’s needs  

    We are calling on the NSW Maritime Police for transparency and a review of the tow away zones.
