About Sonia

Wallsend is home to the two largest hospitals in the Hunter, and locals have a right to expect health care as good as anywhere in the state. I am always working to strengthen our hospitals, so that they have the staff and resources they need.

Education is the key to ensuring everyone has access to the best opportunities in life. As a former teacher, I know how important well-funded, well-staffed schools are. I will fight for local schools and TAFE to get the resources they need to provide high-quality education right here in Wallsend.

Our area is growing fast, and we need infrastructure to keep up with demand. This means stronger public transport and roads that can keep up with traffic. As your local MP, making sure we get the infrastructure we need is one of my top priorities.

Having a safe, secure place to live is so important but far too many people are at risk of homelessness. I will fight for more affordable housing, including public and community housing, to make sure everyone has somewhere to live.
