COVID-19 restrictions forced the CWA of NSW to call off its 2020 conference, due to be held in Newcastle, but instead conference agenda items and motions have been mailed out to delegates.

CWA of NSW president Stephanie Stanhope said members were obviously disappointed the conference couldn't go ahead but the branches retained the important role of voting.
"While we won't have the robust discussion and debate we have around so many of the motions that go before our annual conference, we have ensured through this year's postal voting that member voices are still heard," she said.
The motions cover environmental, health, agricultural, transport, telecommunications and education issues, with results expected by the end of May.
