The Member for Sydenham, Natalie Hutchins, has today launched her new blog, featuring updates of her work in the community, as a Minister and in Parliament.

The blog will feature a range of issues and offers Ms Hutchins’ take on the issues of the day.

In her first piece, Ms Hutchins discusses family violence and its impact on residents across the region.

Ms Hutchins said she long been thinking about starting a blog, but it was the profound effect of family violence that had moved her to speak out.
