Community sport in the Sutherland Shire is set to receive a welcome boost from Round One of the NSW Government’s Greater Cities Sport Facility Fund.
I’m delighted that the Seagulls will receive $256,750 from the NSW Government to improve facilities for its fast-growing female membership base.
The funding will assist the club to add new female change rooms and to improve access to the clubhouse for people with disability.
I also congratulate Sutherland Shire Council and St John Bosco Youth Club, which will receive funding for projects in the Heathcote electorate.
Sutherland Shire Council will receive $1,000,000 to upgrade lighting at Heathcote Oval to Australian training and competition standards.
This includes one AFL field, two football (soccer) fields, one baseball field and eight netball courts.
The St John Bosco Youth Club – Football Club will be giving its 25-year-old clubhouse a makeover thanks to a grant of $179,091. It will expand the clubroom area to make it more functional and provide weather protection for the use of members, guests and the public.
The Greater Cities Sport Facility Fund project will stimulate local economies, boost employment and promote healthy lifestyles across greater Sydney by providing grants to councils, local sporting bodies, NSW state sporting organisations, state sporting organisations for people with disability, national sporting organisations and private enterprises.

Read some of the comments on this post and you guys will realise where you are going wrong. Of the two Liberals involved in the Impact of Cannabis, one of them needs a talking to. If the Liberal Party got onboard with this it would be the first humane thing i have seen from your party in a lot of years. Only been hearing that it will be legal in 20 years since 1977. www.facebook.com/share/p/1HhsEN5FZ5/
There is no way u deserve a payrise
NSW deserves better than a government sleepwalking through crises.
Over the coming 21 months, we’ll outline our detailed policies and plans.
In the meantime, here are some of our ideas for starters:
✔️Restore the First Home Buyer Choice program, removing the burden of stamp duty for young people trying to get into the housing market
✔️Stamp duty concessions for eligible downsizers
✔️Easing the record state taxes and charges on new homes, which are crippling supply
✔️Reinstate the Active Kids Program, to help with household budgets and get our kids moving, learning and engaging
✔️Fairer payroll tax settings to support small and medium-sized businesses
✔️An AI Opportunities Action Plan overseen by a dedicated Minister, with artificial intelligence embedded across public service processes.
✔️Genuine investments in preventative health so that people can live longer, better lives.
✔️Aim for balanced budgets over the economic cycle.

An inquiry into missing persons would be a great start.

Defund this!!

This government is having to redirect money to pay for all the pay rises our first responders and most public servants deserve. That money has to come from somewhere and if it means cancelling some ‘pipeline’ projects as you call them then so be it. Nothing ever seems good enough for you. Do you not realise there is no infinite well of money to draw from??? If you think it is so wrong then stop whingeing and WORK with the incumbents to fix issues rather than just your constant whingeing.
So? Labor still gonna win next election. Liberal Party is infested with creepy perverted fat Christians like you who can’t be trusted around kids. Majority of Christians are predators and sex offenders. Nobody gonna vote for that .😂

NSW needs a government that delivers transformation.
NSW needs a government that’s responsible and competent.
I will lead a government focused on building a stronger economy where everyone in NSW can share in its benefits.
A government focused on the opportunities and the challenges of tomorrow.

Defiantly needs a government that is competent mr speakman
Mark Speakman highest of praise to you around AI announcement. Let me tell you—when you’re in it, the hesitation, the lack of ownership and the paralysis-by-analysis around emerging tech is palpable. No one knows who should lead - so no one does. This kind of leadership—naming AI as a priority, giving it a dedicated portfolio and supporting the private sector with real financial tools—sends a powerful message that NSW is ready to not just participate in the future but help shape it.
You are a great man and a fine leader. Mark Speakman. Best wishes.
Good Afternoon, 😀 HaVe A GrEaT Day! #Amazing_Work, #Great_PhoToS, #GreAt_LeAdeR
A lot said. Very little content.

Would you, if you were to form government in the future, build dams for water security and flood mitigation or bury your heads in the sand like usual Mark Speakman ?
All this opposition does is whinge and complain about the sitting government. You are an embarassment. We wouldn’t teach our kids to have an attitude or speak the way you do. You need a massive change to your public relations before people will take you seriously. You only need to look at what happened with Dutton as proof.

If you guys put Don Harwin back in you’ve learnt nothing. IDC what faction… What leader challenges a covid fine when so many people did exactly the same thing and got fined. None. Then all his rigging and the epic failure Don should never work in politics again.
Last night a gathering at the NSW Parliament witnessed an extraordinary moment — the conferral of one of France’s highest honours, upon two remarkable individuals: Silas Despreaux and Damien Guérot.
This decoration is a solemn recognition of extraordinary courage.
On 13 April 2024, Australia witnessed a tragedy that will long be etched in our national memory. A brutal stabbing attack at Bondi Junction took six innocent lives and wounded many more.
In those terrifying moments, when instinct tells us to run, two men — Silas and Damien — chose to stand.
With only bollards in their hands, they ran towards the danger, towards the unknown.
They warned civilians, helped usher them to safety, and positioned themselves between a knife-wielding attacker and innocent lives.
They later joined Inspector Amy Scott — herself a hero — and offered their strength and resolve.
Their actions were spontaneous, fearless, and deeply human.
It is fitting that France has chosen to honour them — and here in Australia, we too honour them – recognising not only their courage but also how their actions reflect the longstanding friendship and cooperation between our two nations. ... See MoreSee Less
