Local journalist and former council candidate James Mullan has teamed up with The Greens to become their North Shore candidate for the 2023 State Election.
Mullan first moved to the North Shore as a teenager 11 years ago, living in Waverton then Chatswood, Kirribilli, Greenwich and North Sydney.
After graduating from St Aloysius College, Milsons Point in 2013 before attaining an Arts degree majoring in Media Studies at UNSW, the Wollstonecraft local now works for local newspaper North Sydney Sun as well as with Norths Basketball.
The Greens candidate has worked across several industries including retail, hospitality, logistics, government, marketing, childcare, NGO charities, community sport and journalism.
“You won’t find me in a boardroom or even in a suit, I have more interest in jobs that keep me in touch with our community,” Mr Mullan said.
“Climate change is clearly a big concern for residents.”
“The Greens were at least 15 years ahead of the major parties or any independent on this issue.”
Despite Mullan traditionally being a Liberal seat, he is confident the Greens advocacy will resonate with locals.
“I will be continuing to advocate for better transport, more investment in public facilities, environmental protection, affordable housing and getting the nonsense and corruption out of government,” he said.
