“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead
It's a humble beginning.
Just eight of us without any prior relationship, sitting around a kitchen table and sharing what we love about Sturt. Common themes are its cultural diversity, its great food options, its parklands and hills, and of course its people.
But we also take our turn to share why we're all here: we don't think that our current MP is representing our community effectively at the federal level. We don't see two party politics as serving our interests, and we know there is an election coming up which represents our best chance to change that.
We all have our own specific things that we'd like to see go better at the national level. But more than what we say, the thing that bonds us is that we are all keen to listen and learn more.
What's important to other people in our area? Sturt is a big and diverse electorate, so is there a common thread between those in Glenunga and those in Holden Hill, or those in Stepney with those in Rostrevor? We're curious to find out!
So that's where it begins, right here with a small group of citizens around a kitchen table in Oakden.
We hope you'll join us.
