Due to the retirement of Hon. Richard Amery, Labor Party, current State Member of Mount Druitt, the seat is open for a new member to represent the real interests and concerns of Mount Druitt community members (most of it has been published on this very blogspot). Although, this is the main State seat that represents the majority of population of Mount Druitt voters. This making it all decisions of importance has a greater affect to the heart of Mount Druitt. Major improvements have been made in Mount Druitt in the past and there is many more to come!
With Londonderry, the resignation of Bart Bassett, from the Liberal Party and staying as an Independent, this opens the doors for a member to represent the real interests and concerns of Mount Druitt community members. Londonderry is a State seat which seems to be designed to filling spaces in between major hubs, in North West of Western Sydney. Current candidates are not representing as Councillors for Blacktown City Councillors, they are Penrith City Councillors. That means they will have a better understanding of the process with Penrith City Council!
The candidates so far for the seats are (alphabetically):
Londonderry
Prue Car is the Labor Party's candidate for Londonderry in the 2015 State Election.
One of us
Prue was born and bred in Western Sydney and is now
raising her family locally. As a parent and local Councillor, Prue
understands the pressures that families in our community face every day.
Fighting for our community
As a local Councillor, Prue is fighting for Western
Sydney. With the support of local residents, she has led our community’s
campaign to stop the Liberals dumping radioactive waste in our area.
A better deal for Western Sydney
Having lived in Western Sydney all her life, Prue has
watched as the needs of our area have been ignored. The Liberals are
taking our area for granted by slashing services from Mount Druitt and
Nepean Hospitals, reintroducing the M4 toll and cutting
funding to our schools and TAFEs. With your support, Prue can take up
the fight for a better deal for our community.

Each candidate so far has been asked to tell the communities of Mount Druitt, 'whyilovemountdruitt'? I have sent emails or facebook messages to them, waiting their important responses!
When we receive responses from any of the candidates, we will publish them immediately. The more we keep the community informed, the more people will not cast an 'informal vote', because they don't know candidates or they are not interested in voting for candidates!
My personal opinion, we need to have Electorates that properly reflect the Mount Druitt Community. Such as a North Mount Druitt Electorate and a South Mount Druitt Electorate! What do you think, any thoughts on any candidates so far?
