We’d love you to join us for a picnic at Gough Whitlam Park on Sunday 19th February and we are excited to have Jennifer Newman as our guest speaker.

We're a team of local GetUp members who share a passion for environmental justice, human rights, democracy and economic fairness.

Jennifer Newman grew up in Narromine, descended from long lines of Wiradjuri and Australian yarn spinners. Knitting stories together, Jennifer strives for recognition and connections necessary to walk comfortably together with care and respect on Country.

Jennifer has been interested in Constitutional change since the Gillard years. 

We will meet near the kiosk at midday and later move off to a quieter spot where Jennifer will speak on the upcoming vote then join us for our picnic back near the kiosk.

The picnic is an opportunity to exchange ideas with like minded people, catch up with old friends and to discuss campaign options to move toward a better future.

Bring your friends and family.

There is no penalty if you rsvp and dont make it on the day.  RSVPs will receive my mobile number if you have any issues including arriving after we have changed location for Jennifer’s talk.
