Speeches

I thank the team at Flour Mill Markets and the Summer Hill Little BIG House for collaborating to organise the International Food Festival night market.

I warmly congratulate the Marrickville Girl Guides on their centenary celebrations. The Marrickville Girl Guides is the oldest registered Girl Guides company in New South Wales and has been active in the local community for generations.

I congratulate the Haberfield Public School P&C on their successful Halloween Carnival at the end of October. In a tremendous effort, the P&C really went all out for their spooktacular school fete!

I commend Among the Trees on opening the Graham Tilly Woodworking Library, honouring Mr Tilly's legacy and passion for woodwork.

This month marks four years since the New South Wales Government established the Special Commission of Inquiry into the drug "ice". The inquiry involved a 14‑month‑long investigation led by Professor Dan Howard, SC.

BlocHaus has created a name for itself in Marrickville as an excellent bouldering gym, with a traditional gym upstairs, a merch shop, and even an in-haus barista.

From all my conversations with taxi plate owners and taxi drivers, it is crystal clear that they are heartbroken and angry after having been let down time and again by this Liberal-Nationals Government. Taxi plate owners and their families have been waiting on this bill for more than seven years—the equivalent of nearly two parliamentary terms in New South Wales—because this Government would not do right by them.

I am pleased to recognise the Inner West Icons podcast: an informative and creative project that celebrates the local history and stories of our vibrant community.

With five AFL Women's games hosted at Marrickville's Henson Park, the real winners of this season were all the football lovers around the Inner West.

Congratulations to Dulwich High School student, Kathy Nguyen, for receiving a 2022 International Student of the Year Award!
