Zamprogno finds support, two more councillors publicly attacked by McMahon
The Mayor of neighbouring Hills Council, Liberal Peter Gangemi has issued a public message of support for Councillor Nathan Zamprogno after he was suspended from the Liberal Party for three-year this week.
The suspension was the result of a successful internal party campaign against him by Hawkesbury Mayor Sarah McMahon and her predecessor Councillor Patrick Conolly. Councillor Zamprogno has received dozens of messages of support on social media as well as “considerable” messages of private support, he told the Hawkesbury Post.
“I’m very sorry to hear this news, Councillor Nathan Zamprogno. The Liberal Party was stronger and better for having you in it. You are a very hard working and well respected Councillor in the community, keep doing all the good you can,” Dr Gangemi said.

Missing Wildlife Data Raises Concerns Over Developers and Koala Habitat
Four years worth of vital wildlife rescue data that helps to guide property development approvals, including in the Hawkesbury, is missing from a New South Wales native animal tracking database. The data gap has left hundreds of rescues of threatened endangered species, including koalas, unrecorded across the state.
WIRES, a prominent wildlife rescue group, has described this data gap as a “gift” to developers, attributing it to the long-standing under-resourcing of the BioNet database by the previous state government.
This information vacuum empowers property developers to obtain approvals for development projects based on inaccurate evidence of endangered species inhabiting the sites in question, environmental groups said.

Have Your Say On Flood Insurance
Hawkesbury residents are urged to voice their experiences in a national inquiry scrutinising the insurance industry’s response to the 2022 major floods. Federal Member for Macquarie, Susan Templeman is part of the House Standing Committee on Economics leading the inquiry and has launched an online survey to gather input from affected residents.
“The Hawkesbury has been hit hard by floods and the impact of these events continue to reverberate throughout the community and the current insurance arrangements have not served everyone well,” Templeman said.
Ms Templeman says the scope of the inquiry will cover affordability of insurance cover, timeframes and obstacles to resolving claims, communication with claimants, effectiveness of internal dispute resolution processes, and how insurances companies prepare for future major floods.

ALP Members Demand its Councillors Pull Support for Liberal Mayor
Labor councillors Barry Calvert and Amanda Kotlash have been told by their branch to withdraw their support for Liberal Mayor Sarah McMahon in next week’s mid-term Mayoral election.
The move throws into doubt the chances that McMahon has of being re-elected Mayor after barely 13 months, where she has presided over an increasingly divided council. McMahon was elected mayor in August last year to replace her predecessor Patrick Conolly who stepped down after a home invasion. Last month, the Office of Local Government said that mid-term mayoral elections would be held this month for councils with no directly elected mayors such as Hawkesbury City Council.
A motion before the Windsor Branch of the Australian Labour Party last Monday, August 28, was carried by an overwhelming majority, according to people present at the meeting.
