I congratulate the Addison Road Community Organisation on the 2022 Addi Road Writers' Festival.

I congratulate Pratten Park Bowling Club, Ashfield, on hosting the Inner West Music Fest this Sunday.

Congratulations to everyone involved in the FUTUREPROOF Youth Music Festival, held as part of the Inner West Fest.

I acknowledge MakerSpace & Co, based in Marrickville, for their efforts in promoting the sharing of creative skills and knowledge with all of the community.

Small Fry Rock returned to the stage at the Great Club in Marrickville this month, headlined by Sarah McLeod from The Superjesus.

The inner west is a proudly creative community. Indeed, Inner West Council reports that creative and cultural industries inject $1.4 billion into the local economy each year.

I congratulate the Red Rattler Theatre on their successful grant of $50,000 in Round One of the Create NSW Arts & Cultural Funding Program.

Ashfield's Pratten Park Community Sport and Bowling Club (or the Pratto) is getting a new lease of life through an exciting new multicultural music initiative.

Co-founded in 2019 by Kate Bookallil and Siobhan Lawless, the Flight Path Theatre, Marrickville, is now centre stage of the inner west theatre scene.

I contribute to debate on the Liquor Amendment (24‑hour Economy) Bill 2020. The year 2020 has not exactly given us much to laugh about. However, one of my favourite memes doing the rounds suggests that when figuring out the best way to shut down a city and impose a night‑time curfew Victorian Premier Dan Andrews asked New South Wales. For far too long Sydney has risked its reputation as a fun, safe and noisy global city through its approach to liquor regulation and its refusal to acknowledge the benefits of its night-time economy.
