"I believe that everyone can contribute to making a positive difference, regardless of whether they are involved in politics or not,” Jasmine says.

“Change requires individuals willing to stand up and take action. That's why I am stepping forward as a candidate for the Lismore City Council election.

"We all know that council needs to work better. We need our council that’s prepared to make decisions and get things done.”

“As a Councillor, I’ll work hard to secure the essential funding we need for infrastructure and roads, and make sure council processes are applied fairly and consistently to everyone.

“Lismore Council’s focus should always be on delivering the essential services we all need – efficiently, effectively and reliably.

“There’s a lot to do, but I’m excited about the future of the Lismore region. Let’s get on with it!”

I love the area and all that it does and can offer.

I believe in the power of science and technology. I want to harness it for social, ecological and economic innovation. I want to challenge privilege and inequality. I want to encourage passion and entrepreneurship. I want more for our region.

"I know these are big dreams for a council candidate, but they are worthy dreams for us all."
