Together we can end violence against women: take the pledge on Sat 24 Nov

White Ribbon Ambassador Jamie Parker MP is hosting a White Ribbon Day BBQ to support the campaign to end violence against women.

Mr Parker has written to all the men in his electorate, encouraging them to join him at a BBQ in Balmain and to take the pledge never to commit, excuse or remain silent about violence against women.

"I've personally invited all the men living in my electorate to join me in committing to end violence against women because I believe the change needs to begin with us.

"This is a unique opportunity for our community to stand together on this important issue.

"Violence perpetrated against women must stop. I am a White Ribbon Ambassador working with the White Ribbon Day campaign to raise awareness.

"At the BBQ I will be asking local men to join me and over 50,000 men across Australia who have already taken the pledge," Mr Parker said.

When: 11am Saturday 24 November (speeches and pledge at 11:30am)
Where: Loyalty Square, Darling St Balmain (outside Woolworths)

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.
