An excited Doutney told supporters she would now start work
on developing policies and ideas to improve the council’s relationship with the
community.
“Hopefully, now that we have two Greens on council, we will
at least be able to get our motions onto the table,” Doutney said.
“I am committed to working to get decent outcomes for public
and affordable housing; getting more LGBTI issues on the agenda — especially
homophobia in Oxford St — helping the Aboriginal community, looking at human
services for seniors, young people and the disadvantaged, and watching
overdevelopment —especially in Redfern and Waterloo — under the RWA.”
Doutney said she was developing a website for people to
communicate to her through, as well as using her existing Facebook page.
The impact on the second Greens seat, however, is yet to be
seen following the announcement that Clover Moore’s
Independent team now has a clear majority on the council.
