I was pleased to announce today the end of major works at a notorious bottleneck for local traffic, with the completion of the Gannons Road widening under the rail bridges.
The traffic congestion along this section of road has caused considerable frustration for local motorists for many years, particularly during the afternoon peak period.
Gannons Road under the rail bridges has been widened to two lanes in each direction, plus a new northbound right turning lane and an extension of the southbound right turning lane. A new dedicated shared pathway, which will connect to the Sutherland to Cronulla Active Transport Link, has been built on the eastern side of Gannons Road to create a safer environment for pedestrians and cyclists.
Sutherland Shire Council has delivered the road project at a cost of $1.8 million. Council provided $1.2 million towards the project, with the NSW Government contributing $600,000.
In 2019, the NSW Government funded the $9 million replacement of the older of the two Gannons Road rail bridges, to create the additional space needed to widen the road underneath to four lanes.
In 2018, the NSW Government installed a second right turn lane on the Kingsway into Gannons Road heading north, as part of its $300 million Urban Roads Pinch Point and $100 million Congestion and Safety programs.
The work is in addition to improvements recently completed under NSW Government pinch point programs to upgrade other intersections along Kingsway (at President Avenue, Woolooware Road and Elouera Road) and at the Boulevarde / Captain Cook Drive / Taren Point Road.

Penny wise but pound foolish.
The Minns Labor Government is scrapping Business Connect, a free advisory service which has helped 60,000 small businesses and returns $1.50 in benefits for every $1.00 invested.
A NSW Liberals and Nationals Government will restore it. ... See MoreSee Less

Harnessing the enormous potential of AI will be a central component of a future NSW Liberals / Nationals Government delivering better government services and higher living standards for the people of NSW.
Yesterday James Griffin MP, Gurmesh Singh MP, The Hon. Jacqui Munro MLC and I joined a fantastic roundtable with industry heavyweights (including AI data centre builders, start-ups and financiers) telling us what they think needs to be done for NSW to maximise its AI potential and to so responsibly.
Many thanks to Freshwater Strategy for organising.

I'd like to see AI replace the RBTU workforce
This is beyond fantastic. Innovative, cutting-edge and genuinely progressive. AI isn’t the devil’s work — it should be the hard, serious work of government done well. This is the kind of vision NSW so desperately needs from government. Harnessing AI responsibly while driving better services and higher living standards is exactly the type of leadership the public expects in 2025 and beyond. Hats off to you Mark Speakman prepared to think big, bold and for the future.

I’d like to see the LNP grow some and drop Mark Speakman. The LNP have no chance of winning with him and we don’t need labor in for yet another term. Speakman is a weakman and must be dumped as leader immediately.
