NSW Attorney General and

Thanks for visiting my Cronulla electorate website!
The NSW government’s mission is to build modern infrastructure, provide strong frontline services and protect the environment, the vulnerable and the community more generally.
A strong economy helps us afford all these things.
The NSW government has led the state’s transformation from the weakest economy in Australia in 2010 to at or near the top for the last 3 years. For 4 years our unemployment rate has been the lowest or second lowest of any state; we had the slowest employment growth in the last 10 years of the previous government. We’ve wiped the state’s net debt. We’ve put 11,000 extra nurses, midwives, hospital doctors and teachers on the frontline. And importantly, we’re well on the way to fixing the infrastructure backlog with a doubling of state-funded spending.
