Women's Agenda
"Independent Kylea Tink won the seat of North Sydney from Trent Zimmerman, ahead on the two-party preferred count at 53.1 per cent.
Tink, the former CEO of the McGrath Foundation, campaigned on climate action, transparency and integrity in government and gender equity. She is also a strong supporter of the Uluru Statement from the Heart.
In the weeks before the election, Tink told Women’s Agenda she would love to re-engage Australians in the democratic process and help voters realise that change is always possible.
