Jenny McKinnon
Councillor for Wagga City Council
I first joined the Greens in 1995 because the Greens four policy pillars – social and economic justice, environmental justice, peace and non-violence, and grassroots democracy – reflect my own values. My concern for the environment also comes from concern about my family’s future.
Jenny McKinnon (BSW, MSocWk, PhD) trained as a social worker, worked mainly in health, and then had a career as an academic and higher education administrator. Her final position upon retirement from Charles Sturt University was Executive Dean of the Faculty of Arts.
Jenny is also a parent of six, and grandparent of eleven grandchildren, along with her husband, George.
Concern for future generations is a major motivator for Jenny and key to her decision to run for public office.

She is actively working for environmental sustainability and raising awareness about change aimed at ensuring future generations will have access to all the benefits of a clean and healthy environment.
