The Australian Sex Party NSW is standing a group of five candidates in the Sydney City Council elections to be held on Saturday September the 8th.

The Sex Party’s Council ticket is headed by a former vice cop and anti-corruption campaigner, Andrew Patterson. The party is running feminist adult entertainer, Zahra Stardust, for Lord Mayor.
These unlikely allies bring a diverse platform of streetwise and practical policies to the local government elections including;

• turning Sydney into a vibrant 24 hour city with a diverse range of outlets and services operating around the clock, including public transport
• extending drug injecting rooms across Sydney; lobbying for the decriminalisation of personal drug use and elevating SCC’s standing in the drug debate at state and federal level
• ending discrimination against adult businesses and sex workers
• improving Council’s integrity, accountability and transparency and
• implementing an integrated transport plan for Sydney

Andrew and Zahra are joined on the Sex Party ticket by, Geoffrey Thomas, a public servant; Robyn Trigg, a former teacher who now audits training organizations; and Graeme Dunne, indie rock musician and former front man for 80s punk band, Pel Mel. Federal Sex Party president, Fiona Patten, will join the team at its media launch this Saturday 12noon, at the Local Taphouse, in Darlinghurst.

Ms Patten said that the diversity in the background of the Sex Party candidates along with the variety of their policies, reflected the vibrancy of the City of Sydney and was indicative of a party with no factions and no interest groups dominating policy. "Sydney is a world-class city and should have a local government planning strategy which promotes this by providing a variety of late-night social choices, 24 hour public transport and support for live music venues. We’re into the ‘think globally, act locally’ mentality and we want to bring our national policies into the local arena’.

"The Sex Party is a progressive party and we are proud to stand for voters who can see that there is a better way of doing things for Sydney."
