MAYORAL AND COUNCIL CANDIDATE<\/p>\n
AFFILIATION: LABOR<\/p>\n
Andrew Broadley<\/p>\n
Current occupation and background:<\/p>\n
I am a teacher in the Northern Rivers and the Ballina community has given to me abundantly, from my family, to my job, to sport, to volunteering.<\/p>\n
Community involvement?<\/p>\n
My successful advocacy has delivered results for Public Sector workers and Primary Industries. Over three decades of experience in the classroom, and president of a local teachers’ association.<\/p>\n
Guiding values or principles?<\/p>\n
I am hoping to step into this role as mayor, not for a career, but for an opportunity to give back. I stand for transparency and integrity. I am here to re-empower the community and restore confidence in the processes of local government.<\/p>\n
Top three issues facing your ward?<\/p>\n
I will improve the health of the Richmond River by ensuring that Ballina Council publishes the results of regular water quality testing. Our local leaders have been too slow in implementing the recommendations of many government reports into the health of our river. The establishment of the position of a co-ordinator for stakeholders in the Richmond River is a simple measure that I am championing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
