"Not only was Annie Wyatt a great conservationists who formed Australia's first National Trust in 1945 but she was also was a foundation member of the United Association of Women, formed by feminist Jessie Street in 1929.  

"My life's work has been inspired by conservationists like Annie Wyatt who knew how to dream as well as having the 'steadfastness of purpose' to carry these dreams to fulfilment", said Janine Kitson a former National Trust Director.

"It's time for more independent women to step up to protect NSW's built, natural and cultural heritage,

"That's why I'm standing." concluded Janine Kitson.
