In their own words

As the West Party candidate for Niddrie electorate, I’m determined to give the people of Niddrie the kind of attention Ben Carroll has failed to provide for the last 15 years. Labor has taken Niddrie for granted. The West Party will put the people of Niddrie first, finally. I’ve called the inner west home for over a decade.
