I'm a student living in Campbelltown, New South Wales, Australia. I'm a member of the Greens, and have been involved in the Greens through a number of elections for the federal electorate of Werriwa and the state electorate of Macquarie Fields.

I have also been involved in student politics through the University of Sydney SRC, the National Union of Students, the Australian Student Environment Network and the Grassroots Left.

I have a particular interest in working on articles on the Greens and the relevant state parties, as well as pages about student politics. Most recently I have begun work on pages on my local suburbs and the City of Campbelltown.

[edit] Articles I've started

• Grassroots Left
• Greens New South Wales
• Longest-serving Australian Greens MPs
• National Labor Students
• New South Wales legislative election, 2007
• Office Bearers of the National Union of Students of Australia
• Templates for federal electorates in NSW, Victoria, Queensland, Western Australia, South Australia, Tasmania and the the Territories
• Template:Australian House of Representatives results, 2004
• Template:Sydney Campbelltown suburbs
• University of Sydney Students' Representative Council

• 2004 Australian Greens candidates (filled in missing bits for NSW, added Territories, Tasmania and SA)
• Camden Council (removed redlinked "suburbs")
• City of Campbelltown (added politics section, removed redlinked "suburbs")
• Donkey vote (added Werriwa example)
• Honi Soit (information about editorial tickets)
• National Broad Left (included information about the end of the NBL)
• National Union of Students of Australia
• Results of the Australian legislative election, 2004 (replaced the section on national House of Representatives results with a better-looking template)
• Template:NUS (separated former factions from current factions, and updated for the NBL split and the Labor left merger)
• University of Sydney (information about VSU)
• University of Sydney Union (recent past presidents, and the Board of Directors)

[edit] My to-do list

Here are a few things I plan to do when I get the time:

• Complete succession boxes for current and former members of Werriwa, Macarthur, Bennelong and Cunningham, which I have already started, then do more for other electorates;
• Expand the article on Varroville, New South Wales;
• Create articles for the NSW state electorates of Camden, Campbelltown, and Macquarie Fields;
• Create articles for the two by-elections held in Campbelltown/Liverpool in 2005: the Werriwa federal by-election and the Macquarie Fields state by-election;
• Provide sources for some of the information in New South Wales legislative election, 2007;
• Create a category for 'Future Australian elections'
• Create a template for Queensland state elections
• Improve Results of the Australian legislative election, 2004 to have a better appearance;
• Fill in missing sections in New South Wales legislative election, 2007. Currently the sections under "key seats" for independent seats and Greens-marginal seats lack links or information, and there is no information on political parties;

[edit] My pet hates

• People referring to a Convenor of a Greens party as a "leader". They're not, people. If a party has a leader, they're called a leader. a Convenor is not a leader.
• Linking to the Australian Greens when the reference is actually to a state party, or referring to the Greens as the "Australian Greens" when just the "Greens" is more appropriate.
