It's #LocalGovernmentWeek - and as I am a Councillor for the Warrumbungle Shire Council let's talk about getting into places where change can be made - like local government
Let's start with all the reasons you would think I would not be on council.
- I am Aboriginal in a conservative country area that still has deep racist pockets
- I have piercings and am covered in tattoos
- I am gay (still an issue in conservative country areas)

- I'm fairly young (lol)
- I am pretty outspoken about the things I am passionate about
- I don't have more than High School education
- I am on the left hand side of politics
