Helen Dalton

Helen Jennifer Dalton is an Australian politician. She has been a member of the New South Wales Legislative Assembly since March 2019, representing the electoral district of Murray as an independent.

Since her election Dalton has been a vocal critic of NSW government corruption, water mismanagement, and the under-funding of rural hospitals, mental health services, and infrastructure. She has frequently clashed with government MPs in NSW Parliament, notably former Health Minister Brad Hazzard and Water Minister Melinda Pavey, who has labelled Dalton a "disgrace". Former Deputy Premier John Barilaro called her a "disgusting human" on Twitter.

Dalton has campaigned strongly for the establishment of a public register listing all water owners in NSW. She has reported a number of matters to the Independent Commission Against Corruption, including a land sale by Murray River Council and the NSW Government's failure to release a report on re-opening the Narrandera to Tocumwal rail line.

Dalton has been interviewed several times by YouTube comedian Friendlyjordies, whom she praised "for covering regional council corruption, water, grants and environmental issues that are being overlooked by mainstream media". Provided by Wikipedia
