Nuatali Nelmes
Nuatali Josephine Nelmes is an Australian politician. She has been the Labor Lord Mayor of Newcastle since 15 November 2014, when she was elected in a by-election.
Nelmes studied a business degree in industrial relations and marketing at the University of Newcastle, and joined the Labor Party when she was 20. She was elected to the City of Newcastle council in 2008, succeeding her father, long-serving Labor councillor Paul Scobie. She was the Labor candidate for Lord Mayor at the 2012 election, and was endorsed by former state MP Jodi McKay. Nelmes was an early front-runner, but was defeated by developer and conservative independent candidate Jeff McCloy. She stood for the Senate in the unwinnable fifth position on the Labor ticket at the 2013 federal election, and nominated for preselection for the 2014 Newcastle state by-election, losing to fellow councillor Tim Crakanthorp. She has also served as a member of the Labor Party's national policy forum.
In mid-2014, McCloy resigned as Lord Mayor after becoming involved in a corruption investigation into illegal donations to MPs in the region. Nelmes was again the Labor candidate at the resulting by-election, and was successful, receiving 42% of the vote to closest rival and conservative independent Brad Luke's 24%. Of note 20% of the LGA did not register formal votes. She had campaigned on opposition to the truncation of the Newcastle railway line, support funding the Newcastle Art Gallery expansion, campaigned against urban renewal in the inner city, and campaigned to overturn cost saving measures to council services that had occurred under McCloy. She has also supported a Newcastle bid for the 2030 Commonwealth Games.〔 And advocated against funding the Anzac Memorial Walk.〕 Nelmes is only the second female Lord Mayor of Newcastle after popular 1970s-era mayor Joy Cummings. Her victory also resulted in Labor taking control of the local, state and federal political offices in Newcastle for the first time since 1998.
