For many Sydneysiders, Haberfield is just another suburb that one drives past: a name on a map, a sign on Parramatta Road, maybe a place your grandma took you to in order to buy cannoli—really good cannoli. However, for the people who live in Haberfield it is obviously much more. Today I take this opportunity to speak about Haberfield and the importance of its community.

Jo Haylen, Member for Summer Hill made a speech in the NSW Parliament on 13 October 2015 about the heritage values of the suburb of Haberfield in her electorate and the impact of the Westconnex M4 East on Haberfield's heritage.

Multiculturalism is one of the great hallmarks of our country and of this State. We all have value and our country is built by many hands on the foundations of mutual respect.

Today I mark the five-year anniversary of the Adoption Amendment (Same Sex Couples) Bill 2010, a bill that allowed same-sex couples to adopt children in New South Wales.

Hillary Clinton noted in a recent speech that affordable, flexible and high-quality child care is the key to delivering fairness to families. 

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.
