Sue Stock has worked as a librarian and teacher-librarian for over 20 years. She holds degrees in Geography and Visual Arts, and has been actively involved in local politics in Sydney, where she was an alderman on Leichhardt Council for nine years for the Community Independents.

She also holds a Graduate Diploma in Media from the AFTRS, and became involved in the newspaper by offering editorial and photographic assistance to the previous editor in late 2003.

Sue has curated exhibitions of Aboriginal Art, and has exhibited her own photographic works in numerous showings. Her enthusiasm for the Nimbin valley, and her involvement in local issues, has been evident since she moved to Nimbin in 2002. In 2004 she stood for election to Lismore Council for The Greens, subsequently helping to found a Nimbin sub-branch of the party.

Sue is committed to sustainable futures and sees the newspaper itself as a model of community sustainability.
