God bless you all for speaking out .

That mayor needs to go 😠

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.

This a huge loss for the Hawkesbury Liberal Party we will be watching this unfold closely as will the people of the Hawkesbury

Disgraceful actions by the State Executive but definitely not surprised. You're a terrific Councillor Nathan and should be commended for standing up for Liberal values not expelled for it.

We will forever be grateful to you for your efforts to save our family home. Your empathy shown to our family and your fight for a fairer solution prove what a decent person you are. Such a shame others in the party only care about their own self interests and have ulterior motives without having any consideration to what is best for the Hawkesbury area and community. This area needs decent people like you to stand up to these bullies.

Do you really want to be part of what the Liberals are doing in council Nathan,you are much better than that. Stay strong

The fact that they do this to their own “team mates” only highlights the reality of the horrible things they do to those not on their team …. for power … how sad for them to live like that

Sounds horrific. And so interesting that in all these incidents with people there's one common denominator. The Mayor. Best off out of that environment. Hold your head up, because you have behaved ethically and honestly. And here's hoping the behaviour is finally taken seriously by OLG, if reported.

Seems like a gross waste of time to me. If you want to identify as an independent that be just that. Your efforts should be focused on your elected role rather than the “he said she said”. As a local voter I want my elected representatives to get on with fixing roads that are pathetic in your suburb of Oakville and have been for sometime. If you are as dedicated to elected life as you claim get the roads fixed and stop worrying about this rubbish !

Now you have peace Nathan and are free. Being truly independent means you can speak on and about matters which you truly care about with your own free clear eyes not dictated by party expectations. Well done for standing up for your own convictions

Nathan, love your work. You have my vote. Have voted Liberal all my life, but after seeing how the Mayor and developer threaten people with legal action, never again. Run for Mayor

I will never vote liberal again. Just as bad and corrupt as labour, and I am surprised at the behaviour and underhanded tactics of Sarah McMahon - Mayor of Hawkesbury. Very poor form on her part and she has now lost my respect along with any prospect of a future vote from me or my family! You have my support and future votes Nathan you have always shown integrity and good morals, sadly lacking in a large number of politicians these days.

Glad to hear you are truly independent now Councillor Nathan Zamprogno but I'm disgusted with the bullying you have suffered from this mayor. I have seen what McMahon is capable of from my time opposing the Windsor Bridge Replacement Project. We need really decent, intelligent councillors who care more about this area than their own personal agendas. And let's keep developers and their partners as well as the two major parties out of council. Council election Sept 2024.

I think you’re right mate, Macquarie is going to be a safe ALP seat for some time with the obvious inadequate leadership of the Liberal party in this state. Honestly a candidate who was hopelessly beaten on more than one occasion shouldn’t have the sway they have. It’s disheartening for many Liberal voters. And the treatment of you just proves this.

I really believe that local govt is about local issues and representatives. Not about party factions. I will only ever support independents. Appalled by both Lib and Lab. Parties in Hawkesbury. Lost my support.

Should there be an investigation the way the council has been run through this time? There should be some level of accountability.

You beaudy! The feeling of freedom to be out from under the crushing weight of nasties is truly a wonderful feeling. I certainly know about this. However, the injustice still stings of course. But there is work to do.....

Well done Councillor Nathan Zamprogno for highlighting this calculated and ongoing behaviour, from one's own 'team' nonetheless. And although this is awful, we know this is hardly the worst of it.

Maybe Annie bee that's laughing at all the comments is ......

Thats very pathetic and I am disgusted by the party. I can see why most people I have met say they dont trust or like Sarah Richards. Just another dent in the very little trust in council held by the community.

Party politics has no place in local government.

And yes democracy should be a conversation, not a blood sport. Better to be Independent on this council, others have found that...

This is such a loss to our community. Thank you for all you have done in the Hawkesbury. Our Mayor needs to be investigated. What a joke!

You would make a great Mayor Councillor Nathan Zamprogno ! Is there any way you can lobby individuals to break the lib/lab cosy pact?

Stay for the long haul Nathan, it’s looking quite mean and nasty out here. Hold tight, take care. Michael Robert Want

THIS is heartbreakingly SAD...Nathan. IF you leave, are you letting the bullies win? "What does not destroy me, makes me stronger"

There are only 2 people on Council that I’d like to see as Mayor - yourself being one, and Sarah being the other. The other councillors are so out of touch with the needs and wants of the community.

It's about time for a change. Give Councillor Nathan Zamprogno a go!

Yeah well.....🙄
