Post election message from Lauren Edwards


Lauren Edwards
Good morning all Greens' members and supporters in Cowper.
I’m sure that we are all reeling at the election result this morning and feeling stunned to have to accept that the broad population here opted to side with the group that has no plan for our future.
We must now look for every spec of the positive to move forward with and Zali Steggall managing to kick Tony Abbott out is definitely one of them. Mehreen looking to retain her senate seat is another!
Thank you so so much for the support you’ve given when endorsing my candidacy and for all the invaluable help you’ve provided during the race. I want you to know that I am not deterred from keeping up the fight and will be taking the things learned from this experience and improving on it.
Thoughts are now turning to local government elections and there is a real chance for more Greens councillors up and down the mid north coast. In the meantime, even in the absence of national leadership and support, many of us will continue to work in our communities through the local grassroots movements that get plans made and projects done to keep us moving toward the brighter future that we can and will have.
I wholeheartedly thank you all, you’ve been amazing!
Lauren Edwards
