Greens by-election and BCC campaign launch
This morning Senator Larissa Waters helped launch the long-term resident and candidate for South Brisbane Jo Bragg, who spoke on the issues that matter to local residents and supported by the Greens. Ms Bragg emphasised how her Green's voice would bring a fresh vision, backed by 20 years of community law service to enable the local residents a say in their own community. She spoke about how South Brisbane residents now have the opportunity to rethink the parliamentary imbalance, the lack of local attention by the old parties who has either taken South Brisbane for granted, or had treated the area as an extension of the city, and therefore allowed inappropriate and out of character development without recourse for locals to have a say in the feel or development of their electorate. Ms Bragg wants her fellow local residents to know she will work hard to be their representative and to ensure good government, accountability for better outcomes for all.
