While many other sitting Labor MPs will be hard pressed fending off strong challenges from newly endorsed Liberal and Nationals candidates, the members for the inner western Sydney seats of Marrickville and Balmain are being targeted by the Greens.

Ministers Tebbutt and Firth now admit that they face a struggle to remain in parliament.
...
In Marrickville Deputy Premier Carmel Tebbutt will lose her seat if there's a swing against her of more than 7.5 per cent. In Balmain Jamie Parker needs a swing of just half that magnitude to unseat Education Minister, Verity Firth.

FERRIES AT ANNANDALE AND WEST BALMAIN

Imagine hopping on a ferry at Annandale or West Balmain and being in the heart of the city within minutes.

In 2020, we won the campaign for a Glebe ferry. Now, we have the opportunity to connect more of our area to the ferry network. New ferries at Annandale and West Balmain will provide a faster, smarter route into the city without adding to the traffic on our roads.

Both Labor and the Liberals want to build more polluting and destructive tollways across Sydney. But we have costed a comprehensive plan for a world-class public transport system that makes getting around our city fast and easy.

Dear Transport Minister,

New inner west ferry services would provide efficient, fast and environmentally sound travel to and from the area for workers, tourists, students, pensioners and the general public.

I therefore ask that the Government build on the success of the Blackwattle Bay ferry and establish a ferry service at Rozelle Bay for the Annandale area and reinstate the ferry at West Balmain.
