Our hospitals should heal us, not turn a profit. Our buses and trains should get us where we need to go, not line the pockets of private operators. Across Newcastle, we're watching public transport, wait times blow out and our public health system stretched to breaking point, all while governments hand the keys to private interests.

We don't think that's good enough, and we don't think you do either.

Join Newcastle Greens and NSW Greens MLC Amanda Cohn for a community forum on what privatisation has cost us, and what a future built on public ownership and people power could look like instead. This is a space for locals to share what they're seeing on the ground, ask questions and be part of building the case for a Newcastle where healthcare and transport work for everyone, not shareholders.

Bring your questions, your stories and your neighbours. This is how we build the power to win it back.
