top issues

We are about shedding light on the issues that affect Newcastle and the inaction of our leaders that have presided over them. It is up to you to make your decision. Scroll along to see the top issues below:
  • Ripped Off

    We’re FedUp because Sydney takes the money this region generates and doesn’t return anywhere near a fair share – as a result Newcastle and the Hunter are decaying.

  • The railway

    We’re FedUp with millions and millions of dollars of our taxpayer money being wasted year after year on reports about the rail line with no action.

  • Jobs

    We’re FedUp with headline grabbing stunts (read, Oprah) that don’t bring jobs to the region.

  • CBD

    I’m FedUp that for years, any time I have a friend come from out of town, I have to take the long way around the beach because I’m too embarrassed to take them through our CBD.

  • I’m stuck in town

    We’re FedUp that on a Friday night we can go out for a casual drink, be entirely sober, but not get a taxi or public transport.

  • Housing costs too much

    We’re FedUp that you can’t give us enough housing – we thought it was a pretty basic right as a taxpayer in Australia.

  • Coal Trains

    We’re FedUp that the busiest coal port in the world can’t afford its own train line and has to run its trains through our suburbs.

    agree(89)commentmediamore info
  • Arts

    We’re FedUp that Sydney gets millions spent on the arts, literally $20 millions, and Newcastle gets a measly $15K.
