A message from Kylea on the AEC's new electoral boundaries
In 2022, our community voted to change the climate in Canberra — and, with my incredible team, dedicated volunteers, and the generous donors who have supported our work, I believe we have done just that.
While I am deeply disappointed by the Australian Electoral Commission's (AEC) final decision to abolish the federal electorate of North Sydney, I am grateful to have had the honor of serving North Sydney over the last two and a half years.
I am proud of all we have achieved together on issues like emissions reduction targets; vehicle efficiency standards; support for families and women; HECS reform; parliamentary conduct; and human rights.
But our work is not done yet. I remain absolutely committed to representing this community throughout the rest of this parliamentary term and continuing to make the most of our efforts to build a better Australia.
You're invited: Community celebration, Sun 15 Sep
Hundreds of residents have contacted the AEC over the past three months to ask for our electorate to be retained.
While we did not get the outcome we had hoped for, I am deeply grateful to everyone who took the time to share their personal objections with the AEC, and to the thousands of people who signed the petition to Save North Sydney. Your commitment to our electorate has been extraordinary.
In recognition of this tremendous community effort, TeamTINK will be gathering in Longueville this weekend:
WHEN: Sunday 15 September, 3:30-5PM
WHERE: Longueville Sporting Club (The Diddy), Kenneth St and River Rd West, Longueville
RSVP HERE
The Diddy is a child-friendly and pet-friendly venue so please round up your families and join us if you can. I'd love to see you there!
