A week later, Mr Bain was elected by local members to represent the Greens in the 2019 State election.
Living ‘up river’ from Kempsey, in Bellbrook, Arthur has a strong desire to make sure that the rural and urban communities have an environment that allows them to flourish and has great concerns over water quality.
His very active role in the ‘Save Our Macleay River’ group is testimony to this and he has a long history of monitoring and acting upon issues that impact on the quality of the Macleay and its tributaries.
Mr Bain has an acute understanding of the problems facing farmers with acid sulphate soils and antimony in the waterways.
His contributions to the community are indicative of his commitment to the region.
He has changed his role from inspiring educator, being principal of Millbank school, to working with vulnerable members of the community, strengthening family wellbeing, and access to education.
He is also prominent as a member of the Rural Fire Service having a leadership role in the Bellbrook RFS for over 20 years.
Mr Bain’s strong belief in social justice and his genuine willingness to listen have earned him respect among the indigenous community.
The Nambucca Macleay Greens members are involved in many programs across the district from Bush Care to Refugee advocacy.
They meet each month, alternately at Kempsey and Macksville.
