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

Vote out the political duopoly that locked you down.
The flu season is just around the corner – it’s time to roll up your sleeve and get your flu shot.
2024 was one of the worst flu seasons on record for NSW with over 160,000 reported cases, and data out of Europe and the US is showing 2025 could be even worse.
Flu isn’t just a bad cold—it can even be deadly, so book your flu vaccine today. ... See MoreSee Less

After two years of Minns Labor Government, NSW families are hurting, businesses are folding, and economic growth has stalled.
Rents have skyrocketed, families are being priced out of their own communities, gambling harm has grown.
Under the Minns Labor Government, elective surgeries have blown out to COVID-era levels, the public health system is going backwards, and the mental health system is in crisis.
Unions are running the state, causing ongoing cause chaos on the Sydney train network. And there’s more strikes on the horizon.
Infrastructure projects are being delayed or kicked down the road.
And housing delivery is failing – in the middle of a housing crisis.
This is the state of NSW after two years of Minns Labor Government.
NSW deserves better. ... See MoreSee Less

Come up with a plan to build more metro lines
Duopolies that are to our detriment. Woolies and Cole’s, labor and liberals.
12 years of neglect from your government, just remember that
What’s worse than a supermarket duopoly? A political duopoly. Vote independent or minors as if your children’s life depends on it.
