Media 2022
The following are references to Greens-related media items pertaining to the Riverina - Burrinjuck area of south-western New South Wales, beginning in February 2022, though with some useful earlier references. I live in Murrumburrah, which is part of the federal seat of Riverina, the State seat of Cootamundra and the local government area of Hilltops Regional Council. It is covered by the Burrinjuck Greens and the Riverina Greens groups, with some overlap also with the Central West and Queanbeyan Greens. The federal seat of Riverina extends north to Forbes, west beyond West Wyalong, south to Wagga Wagga and Lockhart and east to Cowra, Harden and Gundagai. Below is a list of relevant media outlets, followed by specific media references arranged chronologically, with the most recent at the top.
