Last week, Independent Federal Member for Warringah, Zali Steggall MP, hosted a Community Forum in Crows Nest, bringing together over 150 residents to discuss key local and national issues.
The forum provided an opportunity for community members to ask questions and share their concerns directly with the Warringah MP.
Zali outlined her policy platform to: “focus on providing smart solutions that will have a positive impact for Warringah and Australia, concentrating on practical actions to make all communities feel safe, supported and strong”.
The Member for Warringah highlighted her track record in parliament since 2019 where she has played a role numerous policies including driving action on climate change, pushing for the introduction of a National Anti-Corruption Commission, fought to lower HECs repayments for students, pushed for important small business reforms, and successfully advocated for improved parental leave entitlements.
On the local front, Zali and her team have engaged with more than 42,000 constituent enquiries since 2019. During this term, Warringah has been the beneficiary of over $110 million in federal grants, a substantial increase* since Warringah became Independent.
Residents also had the opportunity to ask questions directly about matters important to them. Topics included, but were not limited to , housing affordability, political integrity, climate resilience and the rising associated costs, including insurance and local council levies.
Following the Crows Nest forum, Ms Steggall will be hosting her next Community Forum in Mosman on March 17 at 6.30pm at the Mosman Art Gallery. To register, visit zalisteggall.com.au/upcoming.
