Kylea shares her week
Week 30: My plan for cleaner, cheaper transport
Posted by Kylea Tink · April 15, 2022 10:00 AM
This week, I announced my plan to bring to Parliament a Cheaper, Cleaner Transport Bill to reduce pollution from our cars. I've consulted extensively with policy, industry experts and consumer groups to develop this plan, which will align Australia with international standards, and bring us a little closer to meeting our emissions reduction goals.
Week 29: What it truly means to be a community Independent
Posted by Kylea Tink · April 08, 2022 10:06 AM
It was a great pleasure to see so many familiar faces, and so many new ones, at this week's Meet the Candidate events. Looking around the packed room in Artarmon on Wednesday, I saw men and women, young and old, from right across our diverse community - all seeking real and honest representation
Week 28: The budget says it all...
Posted by Kylea Tink · April 01, 2022 12:31 PM
The Morrison Government's pre-election budget is yet another display of short-termism and marketing tricks. There are sugar hits like one-off tax cuts, but – as Michael Pascoe explained in our Budget Analysis event this week – the spending spree will last six months at best before our economic growth collapses.
Week 27: Harmony Week Celebrations
Posted by Tasma Hunt · March 31, 2022 12:39 PM
Harmony Week this week was an opportunity to reflect on our multicultural nation: to celebrate the differences that enrich and strengthen us collectively, and to appreciate the values we share and this land we call home.
Week 26: Restoring Faith in our Democracy
Posted by Kylea Tink · March 31, 2022 12:37 PM
Another week, another example of wasteful, irrelevant party politicking, with the Liberal Party headed to the Supreme Court over their own NSW preselections.
Week 25: It should go without saying that LGBTQI+ rights are human rights
Posted by Kylea Tink · March 22, 2022 2:20 PM
It should go without saying that LGBTQI+ rights are human rights. Still, we see Government efforts to push through complex legislation like the Religious Discrimination Bill at the last minute, without ensuring that vulnerable groups are protected.
Week 24: Another warning that the world is running out of time to save ourselves from disaster
Posted by Kylea Tink · March 22, 2022 2:18 PM
This week, as “one-in-a-thousand-year” rains wreaked destruction to the north, global climate scientists issued yet another warning that the world is running out of time to save ourselves from disaster.
Week 23: Ministers once again dancing around economic facts to defend their love of coal
Posted by Kylea Tink · March 22, 2022 2:16 PM
While our PM and his party are busy looking back in the rear view mirror at coal power, in North Sydney we can clearly see the amazing view through the windscreen.
Week 22: We, the community, will no longer be ignored
Posted by Kylea Tink · March 22, 2022 2:14 PM
With nearly 1 in 5 former Liberal supporters now swinging towards Independent Larissa Penn, the state government has been dealt a clear message: We, the community, will no longer be ignored.
Week 21: the Parliament of Australia sits for what could be the last time under its current leadership
Posted by Kylea Tink · March 22, 2022 2:13 PM
National priorities like corruption in federal politics have taken a backseat as the government argues over sex and religion. I’ve watched with equal parts frustration and admiration for Independents like Rebekha Sharkie, Zali Steggall, Helen Haines and Andrew Wilkie who have continued to bring sensibility into a political arena that is so clearly splintered across inflexible party lines.
