Nick Milligan has spent the past 25 years as a passionate advocate for the Newcastle community in the pages of newspapers, independent streetpress and on ABC radio.

He’s a writer, journalist, lifelong animal lover and Newcastle Knights tragic, and a proud dad of two ragdoll cats. Nick has appeared as a host and curator at the Newcastle Writers Festival over the past decade, was a member of the historic Victoria Theatre’s re-opening campaign cabinet and is a Board Associate of the Live Music Venue Alliance, an organisation that lobbies on behalf of dedicated NSW original music venues. 

As a writer, journalist and patron of the arts, his stories have appeared in the Newcastle Herald, Maitland Mercury, Rolling Stone and Frankie, and as the editor of Reverb, Nick built a publication that championed musicians and artists from Newcastle and the Hunter to readers across the expanse of Australia’s East Coast.

Nick remains a fierce champion of Newcastle and its inhabitants, human and non-human. He wants to preserve the stunning environment that continues to make the city an international destination and make Newcastle an easier place to live for families and their companion animals.

As a proud member of the Animal Justice Party, Nick supports policies that ease the financial burden on families and their furry companions, animal shelters, veterinarians and maintains his advocacy for the artistic community. 

Nick believes in environmental conservation, protecting wildlife corridors from development, drone technology to detect sharks along our beaches, a NSW independent office of animal protection, a statewide register of convicted animal abusers, and the implementation of Veticare, a Medicare-style government subsidy for low income households to assist with veterinary bills, and provide support for veterinarians, vet nurses and shelters.

Nick’s campaign in this NSW State Election is one of humanity, justice and compassion.
