"In particular, this election we're challenging politicians to stop funding fossil fuel industries, about $11.6 Billion in subsidies in 2021/22, and instead use the money for nurses, schools, and flood relief," the spokesperson said.
"On Friday May 13 we were up in Sydney where we joined other Knitting Nannas from Sydney, Hunter, Mid North Coast, Gloucester, Taree and the Illawarra.
