Happy birthday to the Concordia Club of Tempe celebrating the 140th anniversary of its establishment in 2023.

I congratulate ACON on the recent 16th Honour Awards.

On 16 September Addi Road Community Organisation will host its first Youth Rock Festival, featuring a line-up of bands and acts under the age of 18.

Newtown Jets continue to prove they are Australia's coolest rugby league club, hosting two recent fantastic events.

I would like to commend the work of the members of Friends of Yasmar, particularly Angie Gallinaro.

The upcoming referendum on an Indigenous Voice to Parliament presents an incredibly important opportunity for our country to enshrine in its constitution the recognition of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander People.

I would like to recognise the efforts of the organisers of the Pathways Music Festival, and their venue, Pratten Park Bowling Club Ashfield, for hosting yet another fantastic festival, building on the success of last year. 

This year, Trish Wyner received an Amy Large Volunteer Award for her efforts with Dress for Success. 

I congratulate the Ashfield and District Historical Society on its fiftieth-year anniversary. The protection of our rich and storied history is the key responsibility of every generation.

Ben Ross was nominated for the Inner West Citizen of the Year award this year.
