“Stay at home” is the antithesis of my activities. I am an active member of the Sutherland Greens and have run in both state and federal elections in the area. I am the Treasrur of a bridge club. I attend important protests especially in relation to the desalination plant. True consultation is requried with that project, and I will keep calling for that. It is important to listen to people, and fortunately, I enjoy doing that.
“Mum”, on the otherhand, is a great description of my duties.
