The 2025 Harbour Sunset Tribute on Anzac Eve marked the 110th anniversary of the Gallipoli Campaign and 80 years this year since the end of World War II - a moving tribute to all who have lost their lives in service for our country, those who have served and those who are currently serving.
As I placed my wreath, I also thought of the thousands of Australians who would sailed from Sydney Harbour to serve our nation, many of whom paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. ... See MoreSee Less

Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to protecting yourself and your loved ones from influenza.
Under the Minns Labor Government it is.
The NSW Liberals and Nationals are urging the Minns Labor Government to bring back free flu vaccines for all NSW people amid warnings of a monster flu season.
Our former Government provided free flu vaccinations in 2022, a program cut by the Minns Labor Government.
Last year’s flu season was the worst on record.
The Government needs to step up and ensure every NSW resident can access a free flu, which is what we’d do.
It’s false economy not to do so. In a cost-of-living crisis, providing free flu vaccines will result in fewer hospital visits, less pressure on emergency departments, fewer sick days and more lives saved. ... See MoreSee Less

I am deeply saddened, along with millions of Australians and with people across the world, by the passing of His Holiness Pope Francis.
Pope Francis was a beacon of humility, compassion and unwavering faith. His life was devoted to serving others, offering hope to the marginalised, and reminding the world of the power of mercy, forgiveness and love.
As the first Pope from the Jesuit order and the first from the Americas, he brought fresh leadership to the Church and reached people far beyond its walls. His example of simplicity and service will continue to inspire generations to come.
At this time of mourning, I offer my condolences to Australians of Catholic faith and all those who feel his loss so deeply. We give thanks for his extraordinary life of service and pray that he now rests in the eternal peace of Christ. ... See MoreSee Less

My deepest condolences to the catholic across the world
Am not a Catholic but really respected & loved him. Sympathy to all Catholics.
The @worlds_biggest_paddleout on 15 March at Cronulla Beach didn’t just set a new world record - 1027 - for participants in a single paddle out - it also raised $54,000 for youth mental health programs - @findyafeet and @onewaveisallittakes .

Congratulations on this magnificent effort
Congratulations great cause
Massive effort and well done Blakey Johnston and your team. Keep up the great work helping others .
Please take the initiative and develop a clear infrastructure vision for Sydney. The current government has no transport plans and is considering rezoning the land above Central Station back to rail use. Mark Speakman, take control by presenting a bold plan to build and win the next election.
I loved visiting the Sydney Royal Easter Show again, this time with colleagues Natalie Ward (Deputy Liberal Leader), Justin Clancy MP (Albury), Wendy Tuckerman MP (Goulburn) and Robert Dwyer - State MP for Port Macquarie (Port Macquarie).
The Show is a great showcase for our primary producers - and the opportunity for countless connections between city and country. ... See MoreSee Less
