Greens MP Jamie Parker joins Prime Ministerial visit to local disability service provider

Greens MP Jamie Parker attended an event with Prime Minister Julia Gillard, Senators Anthony Albanese, Jenny Macklin and Jan McLucas for a policy announcement on the National Disability Insurance Scheme.

The event was held at FRANS house, a disability service provider for which Jamie will be opening a new facility within the electorate at the end of the month. Jamie has been working closely with FRANS house to assist in the organisation's funding application for a grant through the state government.

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.
