Northern Beaches Deputy Mayor and management consultant Georgia Ryburn has been selected by the NSW Liberals to contest the Pittwater by-election on 19 October.
Georgia is a fourth-generation Northern Beaches local, raising her two kids here with her husband, and she knows firsthand the challenges that local families are facing with the rising costs of everyday essentials.
“My family has called the Northern Beaches home for four generations. I had the incredible privilege to serve as Deputy Mayor, and I want to keep delivering and serving the community of Pittwater. Here, we’ve got some of the most incredible beaches, bushland and community villages, from Narrabeen to Palmy, and out to Terrey Hills; I’m proud to be raising my own family here.”
“As a working mum, I know how hard it has been to balance the household budget, pay for daycare, kids’ activities, groceries, and all the bills. This is what it’s been like for families all across Pittwater who are being left behind during this cost-of-living crisis, and I am here to fight for them,” said Mrs Ryburn.
“Only the Liberals have the track record of fighting for and delivering for Pittwater. There is a lot at stake at this by-election, and people need to use their vote to send a message to Labor that they won’t stand by while funding is cut to critical road upgrades, cost of living support and our local public schools.”
“Our community needs someone who’ll stand up for our unique character and heritage and put local and community decision-making first.”
“The Independents in the NSW Parliament have failed to do this, they won’t stand up to Labor, allowing Chris Minns to impose his one-size-fits-all planning changes which will see our communities voiceless when it comes to planning and development decisions.”
“A vote for anyone other than the Liberals is a vote for Labor, and their inaction and disregard for the Northern Beaches. We’ve seen funding cancelled for the half-finished Mona Vale Road West widening, and Labor has no plans to fix Wakehurst Parkway.”
“I know this election will be close, but I’m here to win to make sure that our local community can have its voice heard loudly in the NSW Parliament.”
“NSW has a bad government and needs a strong opposition to make sure that families, households and small businesses don’t fall further behind,” Mrs Ryburn concluded.
