I did all my schooling at Caringbah North Public School and Caringbah High School, followed by degrees in law and economics at Sydney and Cambridge Universities.
I have lived in the Cronulla electorate all my childhood and most of my adult life, currently in Woolooware.
I was honoured to be elected as the Member for Cronulla in 2011, 2015, 2019 and 2023. I have served as NSW Attorney General (January 2017 – March 2023), the Minister for Environment and Heritage (April 2015 – January 2017) and Minister for Prevention of Domestic and Sexual Violence (March 2019 – December 2021).
I aim to be a strong advocate for the Cronulla community and to provide Cronulla with a strong voice in the NSW Parliament.
Yesterday James Griffin MP and I joined sustainable aviation fuel industry leaders for a “NSW Parliament Meets Industry“ renewable fuels policy forum.
James and I heard about the opportunities to kickstart a renewable fuel future for NSW.
Thank you to all participants, led by Jet Zero, and including Qantas, Virgin Australia, Sydney Airport, Airbus, The Boeing Company, Bioenergy Australia, Manildra Group, BP, J.P. Morgan, Transport and Tourism Forum, Refuelling Solutions and Deloitte Australia. ... See MoreSee Less

I’m pleased to announce two exciting appointments that will strengthen the NSW Shadow Cabinet team.

Felicity has served her community passionately since 2017 and is a strong advocate for opportunity, equity and inclusion.

Tina is a fearless voice for South Western Sydney.

Replace the Royals? King Charles III, his heir apparent Prince William and their Governors and Governor-General in the no treaties with prior occupants criminal enterprise they call “Australia”, have a choice between trying their luck at defending charges of genocide under the Rome Statute at the International Criminal Court (ICC), from compelling evidence assembled by UN Rapporteurs and “Closing the Gap” monitoring since the Court was established in 2002, or replacing the Royals and their agents under UN Resolution 1514 on decolonisation with prior occupant Elders presiding over Women’s, Men’s and Youth chambers in parliaments. Which would you choose?

Anderson Cook, Year 3 at Cronulla South Public School, has written and published his first book, which I recognised in Parliament recently.
Andy loves reading books. When he told his family he wanted to write a book one day, his dad Aaron asked him “why wait?”.
Andy came up with the idea for the book called “The Monkey Who Didn’t Like Bananas” in the summer school holidays. In between holiday fun, Anderson put his head down for about an hour a day. After about two weeks he’d completed the story of Jack the monkey, who was raised on the island of bananas.
Having finished the story, Andy turned to generative AI to come up with the perfect images to go with his words and with help from his parents and publishing software he completed with what is an impressive looking children’s book.
Andy hopes to sell copies of his book at the school’s fete to raise money for charity. He already has some ideas for a sequel! ... See MoreSee Less

Please Save Glebe Island Mark . This is So Important for Sydney . You need to get it out you would stop Chris Minns putting high rise apartments on it . It’s crucial to National Security. It’s a working Harbour. 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
The Port Hacking Putters annual regatta is a wonderful celebration of our local boating heritage and estuary environment, as well as a chance to remember the importance of water safety and fundraise for Marine Rescue NSW.

Education is the key to all in our community. Thank you for this support.
Excellent.
Nice to see Simon out and about for a change
My deepest sympathies to the family and many friends of Tony Issa OAM, former Granville Liberal MP and Parramatta Lord Mayor who passed away after a long illness. He was 69.
Tony was the state’s first Liberal Lord Mayor when he became Parramatta Lord Mayor in 2008 and the state’s first Lebanese-Australian politician to hold that position.
Tony served as the State Member for Granville from 2011 to 2015.
A long-time Merrylands resident, Tony received an Order of Australia Medal in 1995 in recognition of his many contributions to the Lebanese-Australian community. He also a NSW Local Government Award for more than 20 years’ service as a Councillor on Parramatta City Council.
Tony will be deeply missed.
Vale Tony. ... See MoreSee Less
