It was an honour to open “In Conversation with Michelle Obama”. Two women, two very different countries, one shared truth: when you are the first, you carry everyone who was never given the chance to be. An evening I won’t forget. @MichelleObama

When I told my mum, Ann, I was thinking about joining Labor, she said: “Get in there and make our voices heard.” So I have, and I joined its Left, where my politics have always sat.
This one’s for her. That’s the plan, Mum ❤️

We are witnessing with despair the iniquitous use of hunger as a weapon of war. Burning crops, stealing livestock, and blocking aid are tactics increasingly used by armed militias. As civilians languish in misery, political elites grow fat with impunity. It is time to sanction these abuses and hold accountable those who are responsible for it.

“The sad truth is that when a woman is killed by her partner her death has a much better chance of being branded a national disgrace if she is young, good looking and white.
And that in itself is also a national disgrace.” #MediaWatch
I'm honoured to have been re-elected to serve as a @cityofsydney councillor for another term. A huge thank you to my powerhouse independent team, our awesome volunteers, and the community for your support. Together, we ran a positive, people-powered and policy-focussed campaign
Votes are still being counted, but it’s clear the Clover Moore team will lose majority control for the first time in 20 years. This means Council will be more representative, we’ll have proper debate and new ideas won’t be so readily shot down. This is a win for the community!
You might be able to outsource waste services, but you can't outsource responsibility!! Vote 1️⃣ Yvonne Weldon Independents to make waste services top priority.
As Mayor, I’ll establish a rates rebate for households, businesses and community groups who install solar ☀️, insulate their homes 🏠, switch appliances from gas 🔥 to electric ⚡ and/or switch to certified Green Power ♻️.
Vote 1️⃣ Yvonne Weldon Independents this Saturday!
Election Day is this Saturday!! Vote 1️⃣ Yvonne Weldon Independents for a brighter, fairer, greener Sydney.

The escalators and lift at Railway Square have been out of order for more than 3 years. The maintenance and repair of vital accessibility infrastructure should be a top priority. We need a Sydney that is #accessible for all.

This team has the experience, the commitment and the fresh perspective needed to lead Sydney into the future.

This morning our friendly volunteers handing out flyers at Green Square were moved on by security. Moments later, Team Clover set up right where we had been and were allowed to stay. When I spoke to security, I was dismissed and told "She own this space!"
