Jo Haylen, the member for Summer Hill, congratulates Marrickville Council on the opening of the new Marrickville SES Headquarters. 

Jo Haylen has called for free travel for Inner West students that rely on light rail. 

Jo Haylen has applauded the efforts of the Haberfield P&C and called on the Baird Government to end development of Westconnex. 

It is time to get real and expose WestConnex for what it is. It is an attempt by this Government to ram its obsession with big cars and private enterprise on an unsuspecting Sydney.

Jo Haylen, the Member for Summer Hill, has called on the Baird Government to review regulations that protect Boarding House residents. 

The right to work safely is one of the principal rights we expect as Australians. Whether we work in mines, construction sites, hospitals, schools or offices, we all rightly expect to be safe in our day-to-day work. Thankfully, the vast majority of us get through every day—working hard to provide for ourselves and our families—without incident, and return home safely.

Jo Haylen has shown support for Asylum Seekers in Summer Hill and throughout Australia.
