Barnaby Joyce has had his time—New England deserves A Better Choice.

I’m fighting for a fairer future, but I need your support to take on the Nationals’ machine. Every dollar helps me build a stronger campaign.

Chip in today!

Australians are lucky to have the National Immunisation Program, with most vaccines covered by the Federal Government. My sister in Texas says many they’re are worried about the measles outbreak—just a reminder of why access to vaccines matters!

Born in Taree, raised in Newcastle, and proud to call New England home for nearly 30 years.

I’ve built my life here as a teacher and a mum. I know the values that matter—hard work, fairness & community. That’s why I’m running. It’s time for #ABetterChoice.

New England deserves better than Barnaby! I’m Laura Hughes and I’m focused on you—not billionaire-backed politics. New England deserves a leader who puts you first, not one who’s focused on corporate interests. Donate now: www.nswlabor.org.au/donate_new_e...

AGL slams nuclear option, doubles down on big batteries

Electricity giant AGL Energy is standing firm on replacing ageing coal-fired power stations with renewable energy, as it rejects a federal opposition plan to add nuclear to the nation’s network.

Why won't Peter Dutton be honest about what he is going to cut to pay for his $600 billion nuclear scheme?

The Nationals are so embarrassed by Barnaby Joyce they’re hiding him from the campaign. A new party rule stops him from travelling outside his electorate unless his rival, David Littleproud, gives permission.

If they don’t trust him, why should New England?
