Jamie's Track Record

Jamie has been a strong independent voice in the middle of Parliament standing up for what matters. Working with the community, Jamie has:

Saved the Powerhouse

After the NSW Government announced a plan to relocate the Powerhouse Museum from Ultimo, we have built a powerful alliance to defend the Powerhouse, promote arts and culture, and protect Sydney’s heritage. This campaign culminated in a commitment to keep the Powerhouse in Ultimo and a $500 million commitment to restore the institution.

Secured $14m to restore Callan Park

Callan Park has suffered demolition by neglect from successive Labor and Liberal Governments. We successfully secured $14 million worth of major improvement works that will transform Callan Park. This is the first time in 20 years that either a Labor or Liberal government is committing to giving something to Callan Park rather than taking something away.

30 electric buses for inner west

We need to deliver more local solutions to climate change especially public transport. After securing a first of its kind trial of four electric buses in the inner west, we collected over 3,000 signatures in support of converting the entire bus fleet to electric. We won this campaign along and a commitment that the first 30 electric buses will be rolled out in the inner west.

$4.75m for upgrades to local parks

Our community won $4.75 million in funding to fix Cahill Reserve in Annandale, improve the Bay Run and build a new park for Ashfield. This win follows a significant community-led campaign across our local area to push the government to fund much-needed improvements to parks and open space across our local area.

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.
