Sustainable Australia is running in some local Legislative Assembly seats. You can contact them here and they can be found in alphabetical (electorate) order below:
Ross Hamilton
Glenroy, NSW
A relative newcomer to Albury, Ross grew up in the leafy outer eastern suburbs of Melbourne. While his home suburb once offered the opportunity to raise a family with a garden and quiet streets, the quarter acre blocks are steadily being over developed and priced out of reach of young Australians.
Ross moved to Albury in 2017 and enjoys the access to the outdoors offered by regional living. Upon arriving, he was astounded to hear that locals go camping 15 minutes from home and rarely know the frustration of having to wait for more than one red light in a day. Ross would like to see this precious lifestyle protected for future generations.
Professionally, Ross works as an osteopath and would like to see health services improved in rural and regional areas.
Lisa McDermott
Ballina, NSW
Lisa grew up in Sydney and spent holidays on the North Coast with her grandmother who had a farm with remnant rainforest and a creek where she developed bush regeneration and drawing skills; a love for gardening and the natural environment.
Lisa has a varied background as an artist, musician, horticulturist and has worked for environmental organisations Greening Australia and the Nature Conservation Council, an umbrella organisation for over 100 scientific and environmental groups in NSW including Sustainable Population Australia. It is this group that hit home the link between population pressures and environmental problems. Reading the book 'Overloading Australia' motivated her to join the party, which would like to see solutions to water shortages & incentives for doctors, teachers and essential services to stay in remote areas rather than people moving mainly to the coast, resulting in increasing rents and suburbanising the countryside.
Retired in Ballina, Lisa enjoys bush walking, meditation and yoga and is still passionate about sustainability issues especially saving land for wildlife. She urges voters in this state election to choose parties that aim to strengthen, not weaken the laws that protect our public forests and threatened species habitat from logging and land clearing.
The Sustainable Australia party policies will best protect our biodiversity and quality of life.
Angela Dunnett
Annandale, NSW
A combination of family history, education and employment has brought Angela to run as a candidate for Sustainable Australia Party. Angela holds degrees in Science, Teaching and a Masters of Environment. She has worked as a Science and Environmental Educator for over 20 years.
Angela grew up in Sydney and has observed the widening inequities and a destruction of the environment over the years. Where her grandparents lived during the depression with vegies and chooks in their back yards, there is now high-rise and roads too busy to walk near. Angela's grandparents and her dad instilled in her that you should not take the good times for granted because you don't know what life may deal you around the corner. Angela is concerned about the worsening air pollution in the Sydney basin and the building of high-rise and roads against the science of health impacts.
Australia needs good planning and a population debate. Delivering safe affordable housing and secure employment via a diverse economy for Australians must be a priority for our politicians. Angela will work with the Sustainable Australia Party to help deliver better outcomes for the environment, planning, economy and housing for all Australians.

Danica Sajn
Elderslie, NSW
I have lived most of my life in south-western Sydney after moving here with my family from Blacktown in the 1970s. Up until the year 2000, changes of course came, but were relatively slow. However, now the Macarthur region is straining considerably since the onslaught of ceaseless development has made our region one of the fastest growing regions in Australia. The provision of infrastructure and services such as transport, hospitals and schools, has not however followed. Such incredibly fast population growth is not only a considerable strain on the environment, it also further entrenches the inequality that is to be found in the 'great Sydney divide'.
Both of my parents were migrants from war-torn Europe arriving in Australia in the late 50s and early 60s. Both mum and dad were from farming families and loved living on 5 acres in Edmondson Park where they skilfully and with much hard work produced much of their own produce for their family.
I studied science and education after attending Casula and Hurlstone Agricultural High Schools. My studies eventually led me to become a local science teacher for many years, though my heart always remained with my first love, environmental biology. I eventually furthered my studies firstly in business and then gained a Master of Environmental Law form the ANU. Currently I run my own small business in Narellan.
Living in this area for as long as my family has makes you very knowledgeable about its needs and aspirations. The changes foisted on us since 2000 have been unprecedented with thousands upon thousands of new housing being largely plonked on thousands of acres of freshly cleared farmland and bushland. We are struggling to maintain a sense of community and our services and infrastructure are visibly straining. And yet the current governments have only more such plans for our region – and little else. This is why I believe that Sustainable Australia is the Party of the future and I look forward to solutions which probably only this Party is capable of delivering.
Michael Clark
Austral, NSW
Michael has lived his entire life in the south west of Sydney and with both his parents being WWII veterans, he was taught the values of honesty, integrity and respect from an early age. Michael began working in 1980 where he eventually found myself in a life career in a manufacturing industry located in Ingleburn where he worked his way up from the factory floor to the position of Finance Director. Formally educated in many facets of finance and manufacturing, Michael is fully aware of how important a diverse manufacturing value adding base is for jobs and our economy.
Currently retired, Michael enjoys keeping bees, amateur astronomy and amateur wine making, where many awards have been won. He likes to think therefore that he has a close relationship with the environment and believes we as humans need to work hand in hand with it to understand that we live within the environment, not apart from it.
Michael joined the Sustainable Australia Party in 2010 as he was very concerned with the maddening rush of development and environmental degradation. After witnessing the passing of 9 years, the situation has gotten no better and Michael believes it is time for a significant change.

Steven Russell
Cameron Park, NSW
Steven has lived in the Newcastle area all his life, 23 years of that time living in the Cessnock electorate in Cameron Park. Steven worked for 23 years at the Newcastle Steel Works. Since the closure of the steel works, he now works in the coal industry as a mining service technician contractor.
Steven is an active participant in O35 Football and is keenly interested in cycling, park run, motor sports and a strong follower of the Newcastle Jets and Knights Football teams. He is very close to his family and loves spending time with his immediate and extended family.
Steven became involved with Sustainable Australia about three years ago after growing concerns of overdevelopment and the reliance by governments on immigration as a means to generate growth. Steven feels that living standards and quality of life are in decline because of stagnant wages, ever increasing costs, unaffordable housing particularly for young people and the overdevelopment of many suburbs in and around Newcastle and greater Newcastle area.
Steven has a balanced view on the environment and development. He feels that growth should occur primarily through improvements in technology, innovation and increases in productivity rather than the reliance on the crush loading of our cities through immigration. Steven feels that immigration is important to the nation but not at the current levels.
He has the view that renewable power is important but recognises that if Governments continue to rely on mass immigration that renewable power alone will not be sufficient to maintain our quality of life and the advantage that business requires to maintain sufficient profits to operate and employ people will be lost.

Anne Whatman
Willow Vale, NSW
Anne had a carefree childhood spent outdoors, where the only strict rule was to be home in time for tea! Her parents instilled in her a love of the natural environment with bush picnics, walks through rainforests and days swimming at the beach.
Anne started a degree in Environmental Science, studying pollution biology with the late Prof. Peter Cullen, & influential books such as Paul Ehrlich's "Population, Resources, Environments: Issues in Human Ecology". An urgent need for a job and a traineeship in Nuclear Medicine, meant a change to studying radiochemistry and a 20yr career as a Scientific Officer in a radiopharmacy Laboratory. Later Anne traveled around Australia, as the project manager of a scientific team with the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator, tasked with regulating gene technology research in a wide range of scientific institutions. Subsequently Anne completed a Post Grad. Dip. in Clinical Trial Management and managed Oncology Clinical Trials research for over 10 years in both private and public hospitals.
Anne's family moved to the Illawarra, 25 yrs ago, ending up in gorgeous Gerringong. The beauty of the area, never ceases to take Anne's breath away! Belying the rich beauty is:- the stark reality of dairy farmers struggling to make a decent living, due to the loss of fair milk pricing structures; the overdevelopment of the South Coast, without sufficient rail infrastructure and services; highways crowded with the dangerous mix of large trucks and cars; the reckless loss of both prime agricultural land, and native bushland for yet more residential housing. An endless demand pushed by our Government's ad hoc mass immigration policies.
Anne feels that only Sustainable Australia has thought through what overpopulating Australia will be like. We have recently witnessed the results of the competition for water on the Murray Darling river! She cares deeply about Australia and the future quality of life for our children and grandchildren and that is why she supports the policies of the Sustainable Australia Party for a better future for all.

Sam Ferguson
Toronto, NSW
Sam grew up in the Hunter Valley of NSW and has a great appreciation of the history and environment of the region. Having attended school and later lived in the electorate of Maitland, he has a good familiarity with the challenges facing the region including poorly planned development, inadequate infrastructure and worsening air quality. Completing a bachelor of Environmental Science from Macquarie university in Sydney 2010, Sam witnessed the effects of high migration rates on housing, transport and the environment.
Having worked as a contractor to various state government agencies and witnessed the impacts of frequent political interventions, Sam believes we should put national interest before those of political parties. Reduced access to education for our citizens has led to government agencies employing foreign nationals in positions with access to sensitive data.
Leaving the country for 3 years to work as an English teacher in northern Spain, Sam met his wife and applied for a partner visa so she could come to Australia with their daughter. Now living in Toronto, Sam and his family enjoy the relaxed pace of life in the hunter region, but like others, struggle with over-crowded roads, hospitals and public services.

Petra grew up surrounded by superlative nature in the Blue Mountains.
It is the combination of witnessing the demise of nature and the quality of life of so much of the world during her global travels, and a childhood couched in natural beauty, that brought Petra to the global movement for ecologically sustainable development in the 1980s. Petra joined Sustainable Australia because, like its founder and its members, she wants to ensure we pass an ecologically intact country, and a viable planet, onto our children and grandchildren.

Carl Kendall
Griffith, NSW
Carl has been concerned about overpopulation and how it may threaten the planet since speaking about the topic in the mid-90s, for an issues presentation in the third year of his science degree. His audience agreed with points raised, yet it is a subject he never heard discussed in mainstream media until Dick Smith recently shared the same concerns.

Beverley Jelfs
Fishermans Bay, NSW
Beverley Jelfs is a retired business owner and administration manager. Moving from Epping in Sydney, after 35 years, she has now settled permanently in beautiful Port Stephens.

As such, a focus for Bev is for better planning to stop overdevelopment of our beautiful Australian suburbs. Bev believes a reduction in population growth is necessary to relieve the overdevelopment and destruction of our suburbs - infrastructure before housing development!

She worked for various IT companies over the next 40 years, mainly in Perth, but including time in Northern Queensland and Melbourne, finally discovering and falling in love with Port Macquarie in 2006. She and her partner have built a house in Lake Cathie.
Now retired, Jan spends her time trying to keep her brain active and sizzling sausages with her local Lions Club. She and her partner enjoy birdwatching, sailing their small boat (Penny Farthing) and touring in their caravan, as well as trying to keep the garden under control.
With retirement comes more time to be interested in politics, and Jan has become steadily more disillusioned with the major parties over the years. While at university in the 70s, she and her friends spent many nights passionately discussing the environment and ZPG (zero population growth), and it seems that nothing has been achieved since then except more people, more development, more extreme political positions and less bipartisanship. She has volunteered to help several minor parties in the past, and joined Sustainable Australia for its centrist position and common-sense policies. She hopes to help the party make a real change to the NSW political landscape.
Port Stephens
Bradley Jelfs
Fishermans Bay, NSW
Brad Jelfs is a retired business owner and technical consultant. Moving from Epping in Sydney, after 35 years, he has now settled permanently in beautiful Port Stephens. Brad believes in Sustainable Australia's clear focus on a more diverse economy, job security, affordable housing and a sustainable population.
Globally, it is normal now for the traditional parties to govern as a minority along with Independent parties. Brad believes this is a very positive outcome that will ensure real policies will get adopted rather than fanciful, on trend, news-driven political agendas of Labor, Liberals and Greens. He believes that standing as an SA candidate reinforces the fact that a vote for an independent political party is the smart choice for these upcoming elections.
Mark Larsen
Lane Cove, NSW
Mark has lived and worked in and around Ryde, on and off, for over 25 years, as have members of his family. He attended Macquarie University and is a father, an engineer and chiropractor. He believes passionately in environmental, social and economic sustainability and that sustainability needs to be addressed on a global, national and local scale.
Mark is a strong supporter of a diverse Australia and believes that this must include a more diverse economy. The Labour and Liberal reliance on turbo charged population growth leads to over development and an unbalanced economy. Not to mention that aiming for infinite growth in a finite world is unsustainable. Mark believes we must have a more sensible and realistic growth plan for Ryde and will work with Sustainable Australia to deliver that.

Ken Davis
Ken has lived in the Illawarra since 1985 and seen the impact of population pressures on our local environment, housing costs, utility prices and quality of life. As a counsellor, he sees the impact of falling GDP per capita on the mental health and well-being of all Australians, particularly the disadvantaged.
As a musician Ken wants to see the arts valued and supported. As a surfer he wants his grandchildren to enjoy unspoilt waters and scenic vistas. As a human, he wants his fellow Australians to have safe, affordable housing and access to meaningful work and a living wage. That's true sustainability.

Dale has spent his working life as a communicator in the entertainment industry as a marketing manager, publicist and talk-back host. Dale is currently the Executive Producer for McLaren Overnight at Radio 2GB having previously worked producing Clive Robertson & Mike Jeffreys at sister station Radio 2UE.
His time in media has connected him with politicians from every party… but he's found none more influencing than such national treasures of common sense the likes of Dick Smith, Kelvin Thomson & Sustainable Australia's recently elected member of the Victorian Legislative Council Clifford Hayes.
Sustainable Australia's views & values including their stance on reducing Australia's high migration & migrant worker programmes impressed him enough to see him join the party. A keen bushwalker, for the last 8 years Dale has also been a volunteer with St Vincent de Paul feeding the disadvantaged of Sydney and a passionate blood donor for most of his life.

Wayne Rigg
Kincumber, NSW
Wayne was born in Sydney, growing up in the western suburbs. He attended the University of NSW, attaining a Science Education degree, then taught for a while before studying and practising Chinese medicine and Reiki. He moved with his family to Canberra in 1998 for 14 years, taking up Science and Maths teaching again, before moving to the Central Coast in 2012. Before moving he established a successful home tutoring business in Canberra which is now run from his new home.
Wayne has always had a keen interest and appreciation of the environment and nature generally. Once a keen surfer, he is now more of a beach goer, gardener and bush walker! Since the 70s Wayne has been very aware of the challenges facing our environment and also the pressures which tend to degrade our quality of life, even though there are a range of alternative options which would also deliver economic prosperity while maintaining sustainable jobs, and an environment that supports people as well as our fauna and flora. He firmly believes we have a choice, that it is a myth that more is necessarily better, and there are ways of achieving prosperity, healthy human centred development, as well as a sustainable Australia.

Margaret Jones
Berkeley Vale, NSW
Margaret Jones moved to the Central Coast in 2004. She retired from Nursing in 2014; she was qualified in General and Obstetric Nursing, held a Diploma in Nursing Education and a Master of Bioethics (UTS). She was one of a small group of Australian Museum Society members who produced and presented "Talking Science" on community radio from 1993 - 2003. Margaret has lived and worked in country, city and remote areas. Much of her childhood was lived in a remote area where she did school by correspondence. Droughts, floods and bushfires were part of life and supplies were obtained via a monthly visit to town. Thus the seeds of self-sufficiency and sustainability were planted and further developed in her formative years as a nurse.
The rapid increase in population and development that has occurred in her 13 years on the Coast is deeply disturbing to her.
The necessary infrastructure for existing houses does not exist! There are very few footpaths, drainage is poor, and roads are cracked and patched. Travelling time is longer because of the increase in traffic. Shops are crowded and there is difficulty parking almost everywhere on the Coast. These factors have a negative effect on the quality of life and residents need to have more say in local decision-making. Margaret believes that we should improve the quality of our infrastructure, our resources and heritage, well before any consideration of growing bigger.

Newport, NSW
Greg has lived on the Northern Beaches of Sydney for the last 35 years. Passionate about political integrity and democratic values he believes that politicians should listen more to the local community.
He is particularly concerned about the impact excessive population growth has had on the local area and Australia in general. Overdevelopment causing overcrowding and excessive strain on public services and infrastructure needs urgent attention and political change.
Running as a candidate in Wakehurst gives local constituents the opportunity to send a clear message to government, "We want to be heard and we want our political representatives to act in our best interest".

EAST HAVEN, Conn. — Two children found dead in their homes last month were killed by "acute intoxication" of an over-the-counter antihistamine like Benadryl, the Office of Chief Medical Examiner has ruled.
Their mother has been charged in their deaths inside the East Haven home where the children were discovered, a suicide note left by their mother at their feet. The home had a strong smell of gas, but the actual cause of death, according to the ME, was an "acute intoxication of diphenhydramine," the substance that is similar to the popular Benadryl brand.
According to WTIC, 6-year-old Aleisha Moore and her 7-year-old brother Daaron were found dead in their home June 2 after a friend of their mother's called police. That friend said the mother, LeRoya Moore, 36, was threatening to hurt herself and had cuts on her arms. The friend told police children were living with Moore, who had 14 prior convictions and a history with the Department of Children and Families.
Police found Moore's children inside the house lying fully clothed on a blanket on the floor. Police say they had been dead for some time.
The mom's letter indicated she was attempting to die with her children: "I know this was meant to end the way it did. I don't know the reason why, but we were meant to die today. "
While police searched the home, Moore admitted to turning on the gas. Police said she appeared despondent when she told officers: "I stabbed them, I released them." However, the medical examiner said blunt force trauma and puncture wounds weren't the cause of the death.
Moore was taken to the hospital and later put on suicide watch at the Department of Corrections in Niantic. Moore has been charged with two counts of murder and three counts of reckless endangerment. Her children were laid to rest June 16 in Easton.

This article is part of our content series with Brandwatch, one of the most powerful social media monitoring and analytics tool used by pioneering brands and agencies all over the world, and a Global Supporting Sponsor of Social Media Week.
This article is a continuation of the part series we started prior on the reasons why some brands are getting it all wrong in their approach towards marketing to Millennial as their standard for shifting in marketing videos.
Are Millennial and Baby Boomers really that different?
Millennial own more devices than generations before them. Of course they do. Baby boomers today owned more than they did a decade ago too.
Millennial want to engage with brands. Also true, and technology has enabled all demographics to engage with brands more than ever before.
Research has shown that Millennial care about the environment. They care about social issues like same-sex marriage. They expect brands to give back to society and not just make profits. They expect brands to be there when they have a complaint.
All of these things may be valid, but they simply represent wider social trends.
None of them are unique to Millennial, and talking about targeting them shouldn't just be a shortcut for brands to 'get with the times'.
Doing these things can be very valuable, but they aren't a kind of silver bullet for commercial success either. Targeting Millennial is not an effective strategy if generating revenue is the only goal.
Consider the Baby Boomers; the over 50s. Baby Boomers own 63% of all wealth in the US.
At 111 million strong, Boomers are the largest consumer-age demographic in the United States, far exceeding Gen X's 61 million and Millennial' 75 million.
Baby boomers get 10% of brands' marketing dollars, but provide more than 50% of national consumption. Millennial, meanwhile, get more than 50% of marketing budgets, yet provide a much smaller fraction of revenue.
Essentially, any brand talking about targeting Millennial is really ensuring they're prepared for what's next. It's about working out what shifts are happening, and being ready for them.
There's the idea that the next generation of consumers aren't influenced much by advertising, for example.
Only 1% of Millennial surveyed said that a compelling advertisement would make them trust a brand more. According to HubSpot, among countless others, authenticity is also increasingly important.
This shouldn't translate as 'let's target Millennial' by using emoji and speaking like a child.
Those people don't want to call up a brand and have a conversation. What it means is that expectations are changing, and brands will need to adjust to stay relevant in the long term.
It means maintaining an active and responsive social customer care program, or having transparency processes in place.
As Louis V, strategy planner at a major finance and media brand puts it: "they're engaged with the corporate climate. They're engaged with all these different things that we would have narrowly written off had we not been paying attention to. And missing out on these things as they're bubbling up is how you lose relevance as a brand."
People aren't buying more cars just because you're using emoji
So if targeting Millennial is really just about preparing for the future and preventing getting left behind, what can brands do when they think about targeting in a way that carries more meaning?
In terms of targeting, for reasons we've been through, Millennial isn't a particularly helpful term to be talking about.
Instead, brands should be talking about gardeners with Snapchat or Pinterest accounts. Or people that own tablets that also like NFL. Or people that drink soda twice a day and live in New England.
There's so much more nuance and potency in targeting at this level of granularity than sweeping terms like Millennial, Generation Y or Baby Boomers can ever offer.
These are the kinds of groups that can be targeted with meaning, and not only have a genuine impact upon the nature of a marketing strategy, but will also transcend the buckets we've created to label the world.
So the next time you're having a conversation about targeting in marketing, please think more about who it is you're trying to target, and why you're trying to do it.
Identifying audiences, and finding a way to connect with these consumers in a way that's relevant to your brand, is the most effective way to think about targeting – and if more marketers take this advice, then I hope it means I can finally turn my snake people plugin off.

Task group marks dual birthday celebrations
Published on LCDR Jason Parsons (author), LCDR Helen Ward (author), ABIS Richard Cordell (photographer), SMNEW Harrison Looney (photographer)
Topic(s): HMAS Parramatta (F154), HMAS Toowoomba (F156), Indo-Pacific Endeavour
The ship's companies of HMAS Parramatta and HMAS Toowoomba recently celebrated their vessels' birthdays in perfect mariner fashion – at sea as part of a joint task group deployment in the Indo-Pacific region.
Birthday celebrations kicked off in Parramatta on 4 October with the Commanding Officer, Commander Simon Howard, giving a short history lesson on the proud name the ship carries as the fourth in service.
"The original motto 'First Born' goes back to Parramatta I which was the first ship to be built for the Commonwealth Naval Forces.
"The oldest ship name in the Fleet and now the fourth ship in the Royal Australian Navy to bear the name, we are proud custodians of a very long heritage," Commander Howard said.
While the motto has changed to 'Strike Deep' and technology has enhanced, 14-year-old Parramatta can now embark a variety of aircraft including the new MH-60R Seahawk 'Romeo' naval combat helicopters.
As part of the celebrations, the major award of the day, Sailor of the Quarter, was awarded to Leading Seaman Communication and Information Systems Matthew Kinsella.
He received the award for his professionalism and service as the Local Area Network Administrator, and also for his work within the cyber security realm.
"Leading Seaman Kinsella has been paramount in establishing procedures and audits onboard to reduce Parramatta's vulnerability to external cyber attacks," Commander Howard said.
On Toowoomba the ship's 12th birthday was celebrated on 8 October. The chefs onboard made time in their hectic schedules to whip up an outstanding cake to celebrate the occasion.
In old Navy tradition, the birthday cake was cut by the youngest member of the ship's crew while the rest of the crew sang a rousing rendition of 'Happy Birthday'.
Joint task group deployments such as Indo-Pacific Endeavour focus on security cooperation, humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.

Years ago Tata gifted us with the best SUV in the market. There was no one in this industry to compete with the Safari back in those days. Later, many other brands overtook Tata with their premium as well as affordable SUV's. But this time again Tata is here with it's much awaited the Tata Nexon- Sub 4 meter SUV which we believe will be the game changer for Tata once again.
Nexon is the latest toy by Tata which is much more premium then all its existing vehicles.
New touches by Tata includes
- Layered 3 tone dashboard.
- Floating Roof-line with Abrasion Resisting Plastic.
- Floating Dash-top Touchscreen.
- Extra 6th gear for effortless cruising at higher speeds.
- Multi Drive Modes.
- 8 Speaker System by Harman.
- Feline-Eye Shaped Daytime Running Lights.
- Key-less Entry (Via Smart Watch or Smart Key).
- Start/Stop Button.
Nexon is a huge step forward by Tata considering its previous vehicles. Nexon has been designed in a much better way than even its rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza , Ford Ecosport, Renault Duster or Nissan Terrano.
Hard to believe but True.
Tata has always been disliked for its Quality and Design of its products,but this time it has come up with one of its best design which won hearts at the Auto Expo.
Nexon gets an appealing design in the front with headlights sitting high up and the fog lamps surrounded by the abrasion proof dual tone plastics which also surround the sides on the roof-lines. T
he car sports a very nice coupe like roof-line which gives it a distinct look. The back of the car is pretty good with split tail lights and again the 3 tone layered plastics in an X like structure.
This car gets two engine options
- 1.5L Diesel Revotorq
- 1.2L Petrol Revotron
The engines are much refined and noise levels are less than its competitors. Both these engines are mated to a 6 speed transmission. This extra gear gives it a plus point as it allows the car to effortlessly cruise around with low RPM's at higher speeds.
An AMT transmission variant will be added later this year. Power available is enough to drive it on roads like ours. And with 3 driving modes namely – City, Eco & Sport it pretty easy to decide how we want to move it.
Sport mode offering the most torque, City mode offering normal everyday easy torque and the Eco mode for the least torque to save fuel. Eco mode is the best when you feel it's time to go easy on pockets.
Interiors with the floating center dash-top 6.5′ touch infotainment and the 3 layered dashboard look so elegant that one would fall in love with it. The quality of the plastics has been improved to a level where now we should stop complaining. The glove box is cooled and can hold many items.
Center storage compartments have been designed in a way where in they can be used as cup holders when needed.
You can enter the car via key less entry by key-fob and also via the smart watch which only this car offers in this segment. Start/Stop button is present so that no more we forget those keys hanging.
Seats are comfortable at the front and the back. Ride Quality has been improved with a stiffer chassis. Fuel Economy is very eye catchy, What else does one want to just be the perfect guy with a perfect car? Prices for this car are expected to be somewhere around 6.5 Lakhs to 9 Lakhs.
I'll end my post with a video for letting you know more about Nexon

I have a real problem with Rep. Devin Midnight Run Nunes, a co-conspirator and accessory to Donald Trump's obstruction of Congress and obstruction of justice, being the ranking minority member in the impeachment hearings. This is the equivalent of the Trump criminal enterprise having a capo on the committee to directly obstruct Congress and obstruct justice. Al Capone never had it so good.
There is fresh evidence today of Nunes's complicity in obstruction of justice. The Daily Beast has an Exclusive: Lev Parnas Helped Rep. Devin Nunes' Investigations:
Lev Parnas, an indicted associate of Rudy Giuliani, helped arrange meetings and calls in Europe for Rep. Devin Nunes in 2018, Parnas' lawyer Ed MacMahon told The Daily Beast.
Nunes aide Derek Harvey participated in the meetings, the lawyer said, which were arranged to help Nunes' investigative work. MacMahon didn't specify what those investigations entailed.
This is the same asshole The Daily Beast recently reported has been providing conservative politicians and journalists with information — and misinformation — about the whistleblower, and spreading disinformation about an aide to Adam Schiff. Nunes Aide Is Leaking the Ukraine Whistleblower's Name, Sources Say.
This is the same Derek Harvey, an Iran war hawk hired by Michael Flynn and formerly Trump's top Middle East adviser, who was pushed out by National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster in 2017. Trump's top Middle East aide ousted. This guy is the proverbial bad penny who keeps turning up.
Nunes is the top Republican on the House committee handling the impeachment hearings — hearings where Parnas' name has repeatedly come up.
Congressional records show Nunes traveled to Europe from Nov. 30 to Dec. 3, 2018. Three of his aides — Harvey, Scott Glabe, and George Pappas — traveled with him, per the records. U.S. government funds paid for the group's four-day trip, which cost just over $63,000.
The travel came as Nunes, in his role on the House Intelligence Committee, was working to investigate the origins of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian election-meddling.
Parnas' assistance to Nunes' team has not been previously reported. A spokesperson for Nunes did not respond to requests for comment.

Giuliani has been a subject of much discussion at the impeachment hearings. To a lesser extent, so have Lev Parnas and his associate, Igor Fruman, who worked with Giuliani as he attempted to find damaging information on Joe and Hunter Biden from Ukrainian sources.
Nunes has been at the center of the broader story about foreign influence in President Donald Trump's Washington. When congressional investigators began probing Russian interference in the 2016 campaign, Nunes made a late-night visit to the White House and announced the next day he'd found evidence of egregious wrongdoing by Intelligence Community officials. The move appeared to be an effort to corroborate a presidential tweet claiming that Obama wiretapped Trump Tower. Nunes then stepped back from the committee's work scrutinizing Russian efforts. Instead, he ran a parallel probe looking at the origins of Mueller's Russia probe. The undertaking made him a hero to the president and Sean Hannity, and a bête noire of Democrats and Intelligence Community officials. That work was still underway when he traveled to Europe in 2018.
Last month, federal prosecutors in the Southern District of New York charged Parnas and Fruman with illegally moving money from foreign donors to American political campaigns. Both men maintain their innocence.
"Contrary to many aspersions in the press to date, Lev Parnas is a proud United States citizen, who has lived here since he was four years old," said Joseph Bondy, an attorney on his legal team.
"Raised in Brooklyn, and now living in Florida, Mr. Parnas is happily married with six children—five living at home—and a zeal for America and its democratic values. At all times throughout, he has believed that what he was doing was furtherance of the President's and thus our national interests. President Trump's recent and regrettable disavowal of Mr. Parnas has caused him to rethink his involvement and the true reasons for his having been recruited to participate in the President's activities. Mr. Parnas is prepared to testify completely and accurately about his involvement in the President and Rudy Giuliani's quid pro quo demands of Ukraine."
Lev, be sure to include Rep. Devin Nunes and Derek Harvey in your testimony. I can't wait until this guy testifies.
When Nunes traveled to Europe in 2018, Giuliani—who is Trump's personal attorney—was working to oust Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch from her post in Kyiv. The Justice Department indictment of Parnas and Fruman alleges they illegally moved money into American elections to "advance the political interests of… a Ukrainian government official who sought the dismissal of the U.S. ambassador to the Ukraine."
Allegations against Yovanovitch blew up in American conservative media, including at The Hill and on Sean Hannity's Fox News show. Donald Trump Jr. even joined the chorus of voices calling for Yovanovitch to be recalled. And on May 20, she was.
Numerous U.S. officials, however, have testified to the impeachment inquiry that the claims against her were baseless. Yovanovitch herself testified to investigators last week. As with all the other impeachment hearings, Nunes led Republicans' questioning of her.
Rep. Devin Nunes's connections to the witnesses and apparent involvement in their activities should force him to recuse himself from the House Intelligence Committee, again. He should also be looking at charges as a coconspirator or accessory to obstruction of justice.
And one other thing: the residents of California's 22nd congressional district owe this country an apology for sending this embarrassing clown to Congress. You should be doing penitence and begging forgiveness while wearing sackcloth and covering yourselves in ashes.
